Unincorporated Nueces County can only abate weeds as a public nuisance under Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 343. Inside Corpus Christi, city Code Section 23-70 bans weeds or brush 12 inches or higher.
Texas counties cannot pass general weed ordinances, but Health & Safety Code Chapter 343 lets a county abate rubbish, brush, and weeds that create a public health nuisance in unincorporated areas, generally within 300 feet of a residence or occupied building, after notice to the owner. Cities set stricter, uniform limits: Corpus Christi Code Section 23-70 prohibits weeds or brush 12 inches or higher on any lot and also bars diseased trees and plants. Property owners are responsible for the adjacent parkway and sidewalk area as well.
Corpus Christi issues citations and can cut overgrowth then bill the owner with a lien. County Chapter 343 abatement follows notice and hearing, with cleanup costs charged to the owner.
