The county sets no outdoor-music rule. In Galveston, loudspeakers and amplifiers are barred outside the downtown district between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. and any time Sunday. League City permits allow outdoor amplification only 8 a.m.-10 p.m.
Outdoor music in unincorporated Galveston County is limited only by the state disorderly-conduct statute; the county cannot license venues. City rules control the coast's busy event scene. Galveston Code Sec. 24-5(b) bans operating a loudspeaker or amplifier, other than in the downtown district, between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. or at any time on Sunday, unless a city-manager permit says otherwise; the downtown district has its own late-night window. League City Code Sec. 42-38 issues outdoor amplification permits valid for a single 14-hour period between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and never authorizes a sound nuisance. Festival and permitted-parade sound is exempted.
Amplified outdoor music outside permitted hours is a Class C misdemeanor in Galveston and a $100-$1,000 fine (repeat $200-$2,000) per day in League City. Permits can be revoked for harassment or abusive content.
