Short-term rental guests must follow the local noise code - a city ordinance in Seguin, Schertz, or Cibolo, or Penal Code §42.01 in unincorporated areas. River-house parties are a common flashpoint.
STR guests are held to the same noise rules as everyone else. Inside Cibolo that means 75 dB by day and 65 dB after 10 p.m.; Seguin drops to 75 dB overnight. In unincorporated Guadalupe County - including Guadalupe River tubing houses - there's no county ordinance, so deputies enforce Tex. Penal Code §42.01 disorderly conduct. Hosts should set quiet hours and occupancy caps in the listing and provide a responsive local contact, since repeat complaints can jeopardize a city STR approval.
Disorderly conduct is a Class C misdemeanor, up to $500. City noise fines apply in town (Seguin $150 to $500). Repeat complaints can trigger permit review where a city licenses STRs.
