Neither Lubbock County nor Texas law forces a neighbor to split a boundary fence's cost; that is a private civil matter. The City of Lubbock regulates the corner visibility triangle, where shrubs and fences may not exceed 3 feet.
Texas has no general statute compelling adjoining owners to share the cost of a division fence, and Lubbock County cannot zone, so there is no county "good-neighbor" fence ordinance. Cost, maintenance and replacement of a shared boundary fence are private civil questions best settled by a written agreement before building. City code addresses safety rather than cost: the City of Lubbock's UDC bars objects from the visibility triangle formed 25 feet back from a street-corner intersection, allowing shrubs and fences only when their height does not exceed 3 feet. A boundary survey prevents encroachment disputes. Consult a real-estate attorney for cost-sharing disagreements.
Boundary and cost disputes are resolved in civil court, not by county enforcement; a fence blocking the city visibility triangle can be ordered removed.
