Brazoria County has no light-trespass ordinance. A neighbor's glare in unincorporated areas is handled as a private nuisance under Texas common law. Inside a city, the municipal code and nuisance rules may apply.
Texas counties lack general nuisance-lighting ordinance power, and Brazoria County has adopted no light-trespass rule for unincorporated areas. If a neighbor's floodlight or security light shines onto your property, the remedy is a private nuisance claim under Texas common law — you must show the light unreasonably and substantially interferes with the use and enjoyment of your property. Inside a city such as Pearland, the municipal code (and its general nuisance provisions) may address glare or spillover, and homeowners' association rules may also apply. There is no state statute setting a numeric light-trespass limit for private residences.
No county fine; relief comes through a civil nuisance action (injunction or damages). City code enforcement may act where a municipal nuisance ordinance applies.
