Universal City does not impose a statewide night cap on STRs, but some Texas cities limit total rented nights per year; verify local rules with the city.
Texas does not set a statewide cap on the number of nights a short-term rental may operate. Some Texas cities limit STRs to a specific number of rented nights per year, typically in non-primary residence properties or in certain zoning districts, as a way to balance housing supply and neighborhood impact. Universal City does not have a widely publicized night-cap program, but STR operators should confirm whether any annual night limit, primary residence requirement, or minimum stay length applies before listing. Where a cap exists, operators must track bookings carefully, because exceeding the limit is typically a permit violation that can trigger fines or revocation.
