Nueces County has no STR noise ordinance. Port Aransas requires noise and lighting restrictions on the tenant information sheet and mandates a one-hour local-contact response to complaints. City noise codes and Texas disorderly-conduct law (Penal Code 42.01) set the actual limits.
The county cannot set STR noise rules, so limits come from the city and state. Port Aransas requires the operator's tenant information sheet to include noise and lighting restrictions, and the designated local contact must respond in person within one hour to complaints about occupant conduct. Corpus Christi runs a 24-hour STR complaint line tied to its noise ordinance. Statewide, Texas Penal Code § 42.01(a)(5) makes unreasonable noise a disorderly-conduct offense. On the beaches of Mustang and Padre Island, late-night party complaints are a primary enforcement trigger.
Noise complaints can trigger citations under city noise code or Penal Code 42.01 disorderly conduct, and repeat problems can jeopardize the STR permit.
