Weird happening here this morning... Started raining again about 2:30 and had my window open above my head and heard it, so I went and let Mel in. Then, about 4:30am Mel lights off like crazy... I get out of bed and as I open my bedroom door, I see light in the house that shouldn't be there... I sleep au natural so I peek out the door and there's a PU truck outside with its headlights pointing in through the dining room window through the carport. I slide on some pants, tell Mel he's a good boy, and head out through the house to the kitchen door to see what the heck is going on. By the time I'm dressed and moving, the truck is now crawling back up the driveway, so I turn on the outside car port lights and watch for 10-15 seconds.
It keeps crawling slowly so I turn the lights back off and head to my master bath to pee. I turn on the bathroom light and look out the window and the truck has come to a stop up near the big oak tree in the front pasture. So I finish, turn off the light and head back out to the kitchen, but this time I grab my 9mm, and unholster it and put it in my front pocket, slip on my shoes, and head out the carport door (no lights). The truck is gone, but I start walking up the driveway just in case. After a bit, I hear the truck's engine and it pulls into my front neighbor's driveway and just sits there revving the engine and it beeped it's horn once. Then it peeled out in the neighbor's drive, drove over his lawn and left headed further down the street. The neighbor isn't home right now. The whole episode was like 10-15 minutes, maybe 20.
No idea what that was all about... Since the truck moved around in the neighbor's drive a couple of times also, directing its lights inside the house, he/she/they were either casing the place or thought they were where they were supposed to be picking someone up... Whatever it was, it had me feeling decidedly uncomfortable. Glad I had Mel inside and I'm sure they had to have heard him going off. Glad I didn't have to use the 9mm as well.

Idk what's weirder, reading about your weird happening or reading about you sharing a little TMI about your "sleeping habit"...
Glad you didn't have to use your 9mm. Definitely have to be on the look out for the next few days to see if that truck comes back. Hopefully whoever it was, was just in the wrong place, street, house...

Does sound weird. Hope it doesn't happen again. Might be worth taking the 9mm and a camera out with you if it does. Get a picture of the truck's plate (assuming TX has front plate requirements).

YIKES! 
THAT'S scary! Hopefully whoever it was, saw your lights go on. Glad Mel was there to alert you!
I know it's after the fact. But it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to call the Sherrif's Department & let them know the truck was going down peoples driveways & lighting up houses. Who knows? There may be breakins that you aren't aware of & it might help catch the guys.

And lamb stew.

I’m thinkin’ maybe a driveway cam’ with high enough definition, to read license plates (and YES, front plates are required in TX) might be in order. A nice bright motion sensor light (about eye level for the driver), might also do a lot towards encouraging nosey nare-do-wells, to move on, before they can cause any trouble for both you AND him!!!

Weird? yes. Only time since you've lived there? Then I might report to police but, not get pants in a knot unless a repeat.
Stuff happens.
