Cameron County has no ordinance requiring or restricting electric-vehicle charging stations — that's not a county power. EV charging installation is governed by state electrical code and, inside cities, city building and zoning rules.
Texas counties can't zone and don't run building permits for EV charging at homes. Installing a home charger follows the National Electrical Code as adopted by Texas and requires a licensed electrician; inside a city, that city issues the electrical/building permit. Cameron County provides no public EV-charging mandate, parking-space set-aside, or charger ordinance in unincorporated areas. The county's parks charge for electrical service to RV sites ($3.00 per day flat rate if the meter is inoperable) but that governs campsite power, not EV charging.
No county EV-charging penalty exists; electrical work must comply with state-adopted electrical code and any applicable city permit requirements.
