San Angelo sits in West Central Texas on the Concho River, roughly 250 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. No coastal, beachfront, dune, or tidal-construction rules apply here. Building near water is governed by floodplain management and stormwater rules instead.
San Angelo is landlocked, with no coastline, bays, or tidal waters, so the Texas Open Beaches Act, the Coastal Management Program, and dune-protection rules have no application. The city's surface water is the Concho River and its North, Middle, and South forks, plus reservoirs such as Lake Nasworthy, Twin Buttes, and O.C. Fisher Lake. Development near these waters is regulated by the city's floodplain ordinance (Article 12.05) and its Stormwater Ordinance (Article 12.400), not coastal law. Erosion concerns here involve riverbanks and construction runoff, not shoreline armoring or seawalls.
Unpermitted coastal construction: demolition order possible. Fines $5,000 to $50,000. Habitat damage: restoration required plus fines. Public access obstruction: daily penalties.
