Guadalupe County has no ordinance on holiday lights, inflatables, or yard displays in unincorporated areas; HOA deed restrictions set any limits. Property Code 202.018 bars an HOA from banning religious-motivated displays on an owner's property or dwelling.
There is no county rule on Christmas lights, seasonal inflatables, or other holiday displays outside city limits, and the cities generally leave residential decorations alone except for nuisance, obstruction, and electrical-safety concerns. In a deed-restricted subdivision, the HOA covenants set the limits on timing, brightness, and large inflatables. State law adds one firm guarantee: under Section 202.018 an HOA may not prohibit a property owner or resident from displaying religious items motivated by sincere religious belief on their property or dwelling, so a nativity, menorah, or similar display cannot be banned outright. Purely decorative or secular displays remain subject to whatever the HOA covenants say, and quiet-hours rules still cover noise-making decorations.
The county issues no citation for holiday displays. Within an HOA, out-of-season or oversized displays draw the fines set in the association's dedicatory instrument.
