The phrase Don’t Mess with Texas is a slogan for the Texas Department of Transportation, and was developed to reduce littering on Texas roadways used as part of a statewide advertising campaign in 1986. The slogan was created by the Austin-based advertising agency GSD&M, which handled the campaign until 1998.

Haha. No it is a saying of Texas to keep the roads clean and free of trash. This phrase started in 1986 and ended in 1989, Although they still use it a lot down here.

Some Okie( I can't remember his name) who got into a bar fight with Kinky Friedman and went back home to lick his wounds---as he sat in an Okie bar and gave some good advice to a buddy who was headed there (Texas) looking for some action.

Colonel Travis said it at the Alamo. Unfortunately, due to what happened next, the saying wouldn't come into popular use for another hundred and fifty years.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that it came from Texas.
