\"JohnJohn Payne founded his first fencing company in the early 1990s \u2013 literally in a barn in southern Ellis County \u2014 after an unsuccessful foray into the commercial ostrich ranching business. As painful as losing the commercial ranching operation was, Payne says, that experience was one of the best things that ever happened to him. Leaning on his wife, Lana, and drawing on his faith, Payne bounced back quickly, as most entrepreneurs do, to build Payne Fence Products into an industry leader with a reputation for quality second to none.<\/p>\n\u201cLooking back on the last 25 years, there is no doubt God was working on Lana and me,\u201d Payne says. \u201cIn the early days of our fence company, we felt we were surviving, but daily we were committed to diligent work, great service, and executing a plan.\u201d\n\nWith its reputation based on top-quality service, materials, and innovative engineering solutions, Payne Fence Products developed a reputation for devising solutions for complex commercial, industrial, and security projects for clients such as Wal-Mart, Lowes, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, US Dept of State, Customs & Border Patrol providing 124 miles of US Border Fence and Gate Systems on the US Southern Border. And in so doing, it attracted the attention of international conglomerates and its ultimate suitor, the BetaFence Group of Belgium, a 135-year-old business with the largest market share in the world of fences.\n\nIn 2008, Betafence entered into a partnership with Payne Fence Products and then bought the company in its entirety in 2011. Payne, who helped guide the transition, exited the company with an equity buyout to embark on his life\u2019s next chapter.\n\nAs a fencing industry entrepreneur, Payne obtained more than 20 patents that translated into better construction, processes, solutions, and fences. He has served on several ASTM International Technical Committees to help develop industry standards. As a 5th generation Texan and landowner, John understood just how vital a good fence is\u2014and often how difficult it can be to build that good fence over rugged terrain and streams. Now, he had the chance to bring together two great passions: devising solutions and improving the land.\n\nAnd thus, Tejas Ranch & Game Fence was born.\nIn just a few years, guided by Payne\u2019s vision, Tejas Ranch & Game Fence has become known for quality and attention to detail throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and points beyond. Discerning landowners recognize the professionalism and results-oriented approach Tejas brings to every project.\n\n\u201cWhether it\u2019s a high-game fence, cattle fence, horse fence, or clearing land for income production, at the end of the day,\u201d says Payne, \u201cit\u2019s all about creating something in a way that makes people say, Wow!\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
