Bexar County regulates propane (LP-gas) storage through Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 113 and Texas Railroad Commission rules, requiring permits for residential tanks over 125 gallons water capacity and setbacks from buildings, property lines, and ignition sources in unincorporated areas.
Texas HSC Chapter 113 grants the Texas Railroad Commission exclusive jurisdiction over LP-gas safety. Residential propane tanks under 125 gallons (typical 100-pound cylinder) are unregulated, but tanks 125 gallons and above require Railroad Commission inspection and licensed installer per 16 TAC 9.140. Setbacks: 10 feet from buildings and property lines for tanks 125 to 500 gallons; 25 feet for tanks over 500 gallons. Bexar County ESDs enforce ignition-source rules during burn bans. Tank refilling must be performed by Texas RRC LPG-licensed dealers. Underground tanks require additional cathodic protection.
Unlicensed installation: civil penalty up to $10,000 per day under HSC 113.165; tank without inspection: stop-fill order; setback violation: removal required at owner expense; fires caused by improper storage may trigger arson investigation.
