need to know about retrieval rights

I can't talk about Texas, but in California, which has very restrictive trespass laws and sometimes huge fines for trespassing (it varys by county), a Calif Game Warden told me if your dogs are after a hog or have strayed for any reason onto the lands of another, you can go get them without notice (but it is advisable to try to contact the owner first). However, you have to leave your guns, knives, bows, etc. "hanging on the fence where your enter", or in your vehicle unloaded, etc (e.g., can't take them with you).

In Louisiana, the Game Warden told me after I got in a bit of a legal scuffle over the same issue (complaint refered to him by local sheriff) that a person had the right, actually obligation, to retrieve all domestic animals and livestock (includes dogs) from another's property immediately. Same as in California, the dog owner is supposed to leave weapons behind when retrieving dogs. The only condition he added was that if a property owner specifically tells you do not trespass in person, do not ever come back, then you cannot go on his land. Tells me don't ask, just go, as you only get one free pass?
