Texas counties cannot zone, so unincorporated Nueces County sets no grass-height rule. Inside Corpus Christi, weeds or brush 12 inches or higher are prohibited and city code compliance enforces the limit.
Texas grants counties no general zoning power, so there is no county-wide lawn-height ordinance in unincorporated Nueces County. Grass height is governed by whichever city you are in. Corpus Christi Code of Ordinances Section 23-70 bars weeds or brush 12 inches or higher on any lot. Robstown and Port Aransas set their own similar limits. For unincorporated tracts the only county lever is Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 343, which lets the county abate high weeds only where they create a public nuisance within 300 feet of an occupied property, not a blanket height rule.
Corpus Christi issues code-compliance notices and citations; unabated weeds may be city-cut with costs and a lien assessed against the property owner.
