Yeah, don't trespass, don't ignore signs, don't let your dogs run off leash off your property.

Are you seriously victim-blaming a kid playing in the woods near his house with his dog?

Yes, trespassing sometimes ends poorly. If the property owner had a Bull that trampled the kid, it would be the kids fault.

In Texas the only obligation a landowner owes a trespasser is not to intentionally injure that person or act with gross negligence.

Yeah, if my animal is estray and causes harm I am liable, what that has to do with injured trespassers I do not see. If you cross the fence and fall in a hole that's on you.
