Texas has no Good Neighbor Fence Act. Each owner is responsible for their own fence. Travis County does not mediate boundary fence disputes. Shared fence cost-sharing requires voluntary written agreement; otherwise disputes go to JP or district court.
Unlike California Civil Code 841, Texas places no duty on neighbors to share fence costs. The TX Agriculture Code 143 applies only to livestock partition fences in closed-range counties. Survey recommended before construction to avoid encroachment claims. Contact Travis County at (512) 854-4260 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
