Being a Texan myself, I can tell that the
"Don't Mess With Texas" signs are, more
specifically, part of an ongoing and
someowhat sucessful anti-littering campiagn.
At least, this phrase started off as a
slogan in the anti-littering campaign.
Since then, the slogan has been adapted,
tongue-in-cheek as an insignia of
expatriate Texans. They are espcially
seen on the cars of Texans living in
Colorado. However, I am an exception
in that I am expatriate Texan in
Louisiana and I don't have one on my
car. I do have one in my work room at
home.

Yours,

Paul
Baton Rouge, LA
