I don't mess with any stands I come across. I usually prefer to talk to guys in my general area. Just to get there general area they hunting and try to work together as to not mess up each other hunt. If I came across a truck parked near where I wanted to hunt, I'd just keep driving to another spot and hunt. If I wanted to hunt an area that had a stand that was left in the woods, if there was no truck there I'd set up in my saddle and hunt where I wanted to.
Not sure how the law in here in Texas, other than not leaving it over 72 hours. In Michigan we were able to leave our stands out all season and have to remove them after. Our Name and Town had to be on the bottom of the stand, readable from the ground. Any stand left in the woods was deemed public property any body could hunt it. I would never sit in someone stand. My feeling you would be better off sleeping with my wife than to be caught in my tree stand.
