Tarrant County defers to the Texas Department of Agriculture's noxious weed list for prohibited species. The state list includes giant salvinia, water hyacinth, and certain thistles. Local municipalities do not maintain separate prohibited plant lists.
Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 71 establishes noxious plant regulations enforced by the Texas Department of Agriculture. The noxious weed list includes giant salvinia, water hyacinth, hydrilla, and several thistle species. Tarrant County municipalities do not maintain separate lists of prohibited plant species. Fort Worth's urban forestry program manages public trees but does not regulate private plantings beyond maintenance standards. The Texas Invasive Plant and Pest Council maintains a broader advisory list. Homeowners associations may impose additional landscaping restrictions through deed restrictions.
Violations of state noxious weed regulations are enforced by TDA with penalties under the Texas Agriculture Code. Local vegetation violations under municipal codes carry fines of $500-$2,000 per day.
