Texas treats bed bugs as a habitability issue handled through landlord-tenant law rather than a county ordinance. Bexar County does not run a dedicated bed bug program but Metro Health may inspect under general nuisance authority.
Bexar County has no specific bed bug ordinance. Tenants in rental units rely on Texas Property Code Chapter 92 habitability protections, which require landlords to fix conditions materially affecting health and safety after written notice. Bed bug remediation responsibility is typically allocated by lease and case law, with landlords generally responsible unless tenant fault is shown. Metro Health may inspect multifamily units under general nuisance authority if infestation creates a public health condition, particularly in shared-wall buildings. Hotels and motels fall under separate hospitality inspection rules and may face permit consequences for repeated bed bug complaints.
Landlords ignoring habitability notices may face civil suit by tenants under Texas Property Code Chapter 92, including repair-and-deduct or lease termination remedies.
