Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 757 requires pools at multiunit rental complexes and property-owners-association pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches high. Single-family home pools in the unincorporated county face no state enclosure mandate.
State law, not the county, sets pool-barrier rules. Chapter 757 applies to pools owned or controlled by a property owners association or a multiunit rental complex: these must be fully enclosed with a pool yard enclosure at least 48 inches tall measured from the ground outside, with gaps under it too small to pass a four-inch sphere and self-latching gates. Chapter 757 does not reach a private single-family backyard pool, and unincorporated Williamson County issues no building permit that would require one, though HOA deed restrictions often do.
A covered POA or apartment pool without a compliant 48-inch enclosure violates Chapter 757 and exposes the operator to enforcement and liability. Single-family pool fencing is driven by HOA rules and insurance, not county citation.
