Propane storage is regulated by the Railroad Commission of Texas, not Cameron County. State LP-Gas Safety Rules (16 TAC Ch. 9, adopting NFPA 58) preempt any county or city propane ordinance, so there is no separate county rule.
Cameron County does not set propane-storage rules. The Railroad Commission of Texas is the Authority Having Jurisdiction for the LP-gas industry statewide under Natural Resources Code Chapter 113, and its LP-Gas Safety Rules in Title 16, Chapter 9 of the Texas Administrative Code adopt NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) by reference. State law expressly preempts and supersedes any ordinance, order, or rule adopted by a political subdivision relating to any aspect of the LP-gas industry. That means tank siting, container spacing, and installation follow NFPA 58 and RRC rules, enforced by licensed LP-gas installers, not the county.
LP-gas violations are enforced by the Railroad Commission of Texas against licensed operators and installers, with administrative penalties; counties have no separate enforcement role.
