TX Health and Safety Code 757 and International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) adopted statewide require residential pool barriers: 48-inch minimum height, self-closing/self-latching gates, latch 54 inches from ground. Enforced by Collin County Development Services via building permits.
Any pool over 24 inches deep requires a compliant barrier. Collin County enforces via permit inspections. Existing pools without barriers must be upgraded at sale under some lender requirements. Child drowning statistics drive Texas's strict standards. Contact Collin County at (972) 424-1460 for enforcement.
Non-compliant pool: permit denial, stop-work order. Civil liability for unsecured pool under attractive nuisance doctrine. Homeowner insurance may deny coverage.
