CATV cable removal - safe or not?

Question

Is it safe to remove a CATV cable from the junction box? We have one running where we want to put a new flowerbed. The cable was there since we moved in and we don't use it. Is it safe (or legal?) to remove the cable from the CATV hole in the ground, or not?

Answer 1

Tv cable should have no current going though it. In Texas all cable lines on the homeowner property belongs to the homeowner. One might call the cable company if it still exist. Otherwise call code compliance in your city if in doubt.

Answer 2
