Answer 10

To answer your question in a manner that is actually  TRUTHFUL ....(because a lotta ppl hate on Texas and Texans) .messing with Texas means since the Don’t Mess with Texas campaign began in 1986, hundreds of tons of trash have been removed from Texas roadways. But with over 23 million people living in my state, there’s a lot more to do.The phrase Don’t Mess with Texas is a slogan for the Texas Department of Transportation, and was developed to reduce littering on Texas roadways used as part of a statewide advertising campaign in 1986. The slogan was created by the Austin-based advertising agency GSD&M, which handled the campaign until 1998. Since this date, the campaign has been managed by Austin based EnviroMedia Social Marketing.

The phrase was prominently shown on road signs on major highways, as well as in television, radio and print advertisements. The campaign is credited with reducing litter on Texas highways 72% between 1986 and 1990.[1]

More than its immediate success at reducing litter, however, the slogan became a Texas cultural phenomenon and the slogan has been appropriated by the citizens of Texas for general use. Though it appears on countless items of tourist paraphernalia, the phrase is actually a federally registered trademark; the department has tried at times to enforce its trademark rights, with limited success. The slogan is a frequently cited example of Texan cultural elitism.

Penalties for littering in Texasand  who enforces these laws.

Littering is against the law and you can be fined up to $500 (as you may have seen on those blue Don't Mess with Texas signs). Repeat the offense, and you could face a fine of up to $2,000 and 180 days in jail.

It gets worse.

Discarding trash that weighs more than five pounds is considered illegal dumping and carries even steeper fines. In Texas, failing to cover your pickup-truck load is against the law and carries a fine of up to $200 for the first offense and $500 for repeat offenders.

Any law enforcement officer in Texas can enforce these laws. As a citizen, you can report offenses, too

That’s easy. Renewed pride in the Lone Star State by its own citizens. Other benefits include the $8.9 million per year in free public service airtime, the $8.4 million taxpayers saved on litter pickup costs in 2000, and a 52 percent reduction in litter since 1995. Way to go!
