Travis County does not operate a three-strikes or escalating-penalty system for short-term rental nuisance complaints. Each incident is handled separately by TCSO or county code, and there is no cumulative permit-revocation pathway.
Many cities use strike systems where a third nuisance call triggers permit revocation. Travis County operates no STR registration program, so no permit exists to revoke. Texas HB 1620 (2025) preempts most local STR enforcement schemes. Individual nuisance events are pursued under Texas Penal Code disorderly conduct or Travis County noise rules, but each incident stands alone. Hosts who accumulate complaints face no automatic county sanction; civil nuisance suits by neighbors under Texas common law remain the primary deterrent for chronically problematic properties.
Each nuisance event is enforced individually under TCSO citation or county code; no cumulative escalation applies at the county level.
