    Не связывайся с Техасом.
    If it is like
    "to annoy, worry, or cause problems for someone. I'm tired of people messing with me and not telling me the truth.
    Usage notes: often used with not: You don't want to mess with this guy."
    Russian is tough, let’s go shopping!

    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    Очень нелегко. Because mess - многозначное слово (a word with multiple meanings)
    "Не связывайся с Техасом." - deonotes the obvious (do not mess with - Не связывайся), but the connotation of this slogan is "Do not litter (another meaning of "mess") and can be translated as "Не загрязняйте Техас". It is really very hard to combine both meanings and keep the pun in Russian.

    Не трогай Техас!
    Налево пойдёшь - коня потеряешь, направо пойдёшь - сам голову сложишь.
    Прямой путь не предлагать!

    Alright, I was simply wondering how it sounded...and, if you would, refrain from using the word 'gay' in this context. It sounds ignorant.

    But it really sounds like "gay style offering"(pretty popular style of conversation(gay style imitation) in ru-web). :P
    Как-то так: "Не приставай к Техасу, шалунишка. Ты такой озорной, меня это так заводит хохохо. *произносится с характерной интонацией и вздохами*

    God granted me the serenity to accept the things
    I cannot change
    Courage to change the things I can
    And wisdom to know the difference
