Hidalgo County sets no annual night cap or booking limit on short-term rentals in unincorporated areas, because it cannot zone or license STRs. Any cap on rental nights or days per year would come only from a city ordinance.
Hidalgo County imposes no limit on the number of nights or days per year a short-term rental may operate in unincorporated areas, and it has no authority to cap rental activity on private property. STRs may be booked year-round without a county-imposed ceiling. Night caps, where they exist in Texas, are adopted by individual cities as part of their STR ordinances; McAllen regulates STRs under Code Chapter 46, Article VII, and any annual-night limit would appear there rather than in a county rule. The only recurring county-relevant obligation is state hotel occupancy tax on each stay under 30 consecutive days, which applies regardless of how many nights per year the property is rented.
No county night-cap penalty exists; city STR ordinances enforce any annual-night limits within their limits.
