The ideal is at minimum one acres per horse. However this can vary greatly depending on how the horses will be kept.
If the horses are kept in pens, corrals, or dry-lots, then you can have more than one horse per acre provided you feed hay and provide water.
If you'll have the horse turned out and the grass is sparse or none at all you may need more than one acre per horse and still need to provide hay.
There may not be an exact answer, since Texas is a big cowboy country, horses are probably being born everyday.

The number of horses allowed per acre is usually controlled by the county where the property is located.
Not all roping horses have braided tails. There are many events where a rider may braid their horses tail because it helps keep it out of the way.
...there were horses......?
There are many mixed breed horses. Many people will breed 2 types of horses that are specialized in one area to get a horse that is even better at that one thing. There are many mixed breed horses where you cannot tell all the breeds in it. They call those horses "grade" horses.
People bandage horses tails for a variety of reasons;1. To keep it clean: This is done for show horses, light colored horses, or those in muddy areas. This prevents excessive washing, which can cause breakage, and prevent tangles from it getting caught in things like bushes.2. Foaling: If a mare is about to foal, many people will wrap her tail to keep it clean and to prevent it from getting tangled around the foal, and to keep bacteria out of the mares reproductive organs.3. Injury: The tail may have sustained an injury and needs to be wrapped up to prevent infection from germs and dirt.4. Showing: Some horses have their tails set and will wear bandages to help the tail set properly, this is generally only done in certain breeds and many people are trying to have this practice banned.5. Breeding: A mare will often have her tail bandaged during breeding to keep it from introducing bacteria into the reproductive organs and to keep it from possibly hurting the stallion.
you can keep as many horses as you can care for depending on size of land and shelter
Yes, there are many people who have horse property and horses here.
None and as many as possible. Horses don't require fences to live, fences only exist to keep them--at least the domesticated ones--contained and safe from venturing to places or getting into things that could do them harm. Feral horses don't need fences to live either, they have the whole country side of their protected native land to range on. However, fences are needed to keep these horses from damaging property and hurting people and themselves.
There are many breeds or horses and so there is no straight answer for this question because you can keep mixing as many breeds as you want to.

People keep horses for many of the same reasons people keep any other pet. There are many things to do with a horse. Horse shows were there are multiple classes you and your horse can enter and compete. Breeding is another reason. Profit can be made when breeding good horses to make a nice colt or filly. They are very loving animals. So really the answer to your question is well, why people keep horses is the same reason people keep other animals as well. For fun, competition, profit, etc.

If you live in a city you need to check the local laws to see if its legal. If the property is outside of city limits you can probably bury a horse on it. I know many people who live in the country that bury horses on their property.
