Nueces County sets no pool-fence rule, but Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 757 requires pools at multiunit rentals and property-owners-association complexes to be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches high. Corpus Christi's adopted ISPSC imposes a comparable 48-inch barrier on residential pools.
Chapter 757 governs pool-yard enclosures for multiunit rental complexes and property-owners-association pools. The enclosure must be at least 48 inches high measured from the ground on the side away from the pool, cannot be chain link, and openings must block a four-inch sphere. For private single-family pools the state relies on the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, which Corpus Christi has adopted and which likewise requires a barrier at least 48 inches high with self-latching gates. Unincorporated Nueces County cannot impose its own fence height.
Non-compliant enclosures at covered rental/POA pools violate Chapter 757 and are enforced by local health authorities; inside a city, missing barriers fail ISPSC inspection and block final approval.
