Texas sets no statewide pet limit, and the county cannot zone, so there is no cap on dogs or cats in unincorporated Galveston County. Cities set their own limits: check the Galveston or League City code.
There is no county numeric limit on the number of dogs or cats a household may keep, because Texas counties have no zoning authority over the unincorporated area (Bolivar Peninsula, Bacliff, San Leon). Limits come only from a city ordinance. Inside city limits, the municipal code may cap household pets and require registration; League City, for example, requires dogs, cats, pet pigs, and ferrets over three months old to be registered annually and wear a city tag. Even without a numeric cap, keeping so many animals that they create odor, noise, or unsanitary conditions can be abated as a public nuisance under Health & Safety Code Chapter 343, and neglect is a criminal matter.
The unincorporated county has no pet-limit ordinance. A city may cite owners exceeding its cap; unsanitary conditions can be abated as a public nuisance under H&S Ch. 343.
