Williamson County has no light-trespass ordinance. Texas has no statute limiting light spilling onto a neighbor's property. Remedies come from HOA deed restrictions and common-law nuisance claims, not county code enforcement.
No Williamson County rule addresses light shining from one property onto another in unincorporated areas. Texas has no state statute governing residential light trespass. A homeowner near Hutto or Cedar Park bothered by a neighbor's floodlight relies on recorded HOA deed restrictions, which often limit glare and require shielded fixtures, or on a common-law private-nuisance lawsuit. Cities may adopt glare and lighting standards within their limits, but the county enforces none. The county cannot order a neighbor to redirect or dim a light.
The county cannot cite light trespass because no ordinance exists. Relief comes through an HOA covenant complaint or a private nuisance suit, where a court may order the light shielded or dimmed.
