Texas counties cannot zone, so unincorporated Guadalupe County has no grass-height rule, and tall grass there generally isn't a code violation. Cities like Seguin, Schertz, and Cibolo cap weeds near 12 inches and abate them.
In unincorporated Guadalupe County there is no county grass or weed-height ordinance, because Texas counties lack general zoning and yard-nuisance authority. Overgrown grass on unincorporated land is usually not enforceable by the county; a deed restriction or HOA is the only real lever. Inside the cities it is different. Texas Health & Safety Code Section 342.004 lets a municipality require owners to keep property free of weeds and brush, and Seguin, Schertz, and Cibolo each set a roughly 12-inch limit, issue written notice, then mow and bill non-compliant lots.
Cities serve written notice with a short deadline; if ignored, city crews mow the lot and charge the owner, with unpaid costs filed as a lien. The county does not abate high grass on unincorporated property.
