Texas has no shared fence cost statute. Each property owner is responsible for their own fence. No equivalent to California’s Good Neighbor Fence Act.
Texas does not have a shared fence cost statute like California’s Civil Code §841. Each property owner is responsible for fences on their own property. If a fence is on the property line, ownership and maintenance responsibility should be established between neighbors. Written agreements recommended. Disputes resolved through civil court or HOA mediation. Some HOAs require uniform fencing - check CC&Rs for fence responsibilities.
Civil dispute - no city enforcement for cost-sharing. Property line encroachments: survey and civil remedy. HOA violations per CC&Rs.
