Can a police officer issue a seat belt ticket on private property in Texas?

[Edit]

Answer

No. Our President, George Bush, was actually seen driving around his Texas ranch (private property) without his seatbelt just before a big campaign for Click It or Ticket It began. This did not go without notice or comment in the press, however it was also noted that he was not in violation of any laws as he was on private property.
However, it is unlawful for anyone under the age of 16 to not wear their seatbelt, even on private property. You may also receive some grief from your insurance company if you are involved in an injury collision and not wearing your seatbelt, even on private property.
