STR guests are bound by the same state law as everyone else: unreasonable noise near a residence is disorderly conduct under Tex. Penal Code §42.01, a Class C misdemeanor up to $500. The county has no STR-specific noise rule.
Unincorporated Williamson County has no STR-specific noise ordinance because it cannot regulate rentals at all. A loud Airbnb party is handled exactly like any other disturbance: deputies respond, assess whether the noise is unreasonable near a neighboring residence, and cite the responsible person under state disorderly-conduct law. Hosts commonly add contractual quiet hours and noise-monitoring devices because the HOA, not the county, can penalize the owner for guest disturbances.
Guests or hosts face a Class C disorderly-conduct citation and a fine up to $500. HOAs may separately fine the owner or pursue deed-restriction remedies for repeat disturbances.
