Commercial drone operators in Guadalupe County follow FAA 14 CFR Part 107: hold a Remote Pilot Certificate, register the aircraft, fly below 400 feet, keep visual line of sight. Texas Government Code 423.003 still bars surveillance images.
Any drone flight for business in Guadalupe County - real estate photos in Schertz, roof inspections in Cibolo, survey work near Seguin - falls under FAA 14 CFR Part 107. Section 107.12 requires the person at the controls to hold a Remote Pilot Certificate with a small UAS rating or fly under a certificated pilot's direct supervision. Operators register the drone, stay below 400 feet, keep visual line of sight, and get LAANC authorization in controlled airspace near San Antonio and Randolph AFB. Texas Government Code 423.003 still makes surveillance imaging of individuals or private property a crime, with statutory exceptions for many commercial uses.
Flying commercially without a Remote Pilot Certificate exposes operators to FAA civil penalties reaching tens of thousands of dollars. Capturing a surveillance image barred by Texas Government Code 423.003 is a Class C misdemeanor.
