It means: "Don't annoy me." "Don't make me angry." It's something you'd say to someone who was bugging you, or teasing you, or otherwise getting on your nerves---warning them that you might lose your temper and respond in a way they won't like.

The true meaning of this phrase: It's an ANTI-LITTERING ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN started by the Texas Department of Transportation! See www (dot) dontmesswithtexas (dot) org.
It's an anti-littering campaign that has helped remove trash from Texas roadways by reminding people to clean up after themselves, so don't mess with Texas or you'll get a huge fine!

It actually is a phrase that means the same as "Give A Hoot, Don't Pollute". It is on "Do not litter" signs in the state of Texas.
Man reading sign: Don't mess with Texas.
Other guy: What the fuck does that mean?
Man: I'm not sure, but I don't think we should be throwing these dead bodies here by the look of this sign. It says littering is a $500 fine.
Other guy: Shit.

A phrase in which "big men" from Texas (see George W. Bush) will use in defense of their state.
Little do they know that it was a slogan coined in the 1960s by Ladybird Johnson in a highway beautificatoin campaign. So when you hear some macho cowboy say this, what they mean is "Please dont litter in my state."

A polite way of saying that you don't have, and don't want to have, anything to do with someone or something.
I don't mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show ... and that's a very nice way for me to put it!
I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I don't mess with that woman.
