If you don't like that idea and offer nothing then if I'm your neighbor I back MY fence off the property line a bit and when your cows or something else that belongs to you messes it up.... you deal with the legal consequences. Been there done that.... pretty simple.
Texas is a fence out state. If you don't want something on your land then you have to fence it out. It isn't the owner of whatever's problem to repair the fence or build one for that matter. You could build a brand new fence as far away from the property line as you want and if a big bull goes over there and jumps through it. Then it's your job to fix the fence or build a better one. Not the owner of the bull. Look it up. I think it's called free range state or something like that. He should pay half of a low cattle fence and that's all . We have done the same on the ranch I run.

Is it his HF that is going around 3 sides of your property? Or did any of the sides already have HF?
Reason I ask, its kind of a d*ck move if one LO is going all the way around your property. Nevermind the fact that 1000 acres isn't enough range for deer. But if it's 3 different LO's, and you are already HF on two sides, I could see how he would ask you, and I wouldn't consider it unreasonable for him to ask.
