Very limited sidewalk infrastructure in unincorporated Dallas County. No county sidewalk repair ordinance. County maintains roads and drainage only. State premises liability law applies to injuries.

There is no county ordinance assigning sidewalk repair responsibility to adjacent property owners. Where sidewalks exist (primarily in newer subdivisions), maintenance is typically defined by HOA covenants. Dallas County Public Works may address safety hazards on county-maintained infrastructure.
