State law requires a pool yard enclosure at least 48 inches high for pools owned or controlled by a property owners association or multiunit rental complex. Private single-family pools carry no state fence mandate.
Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 757 sets pool enclosure rules for pools owned, controlled, or maintained by a property owners association or a multiunit rental complex. Those enclosures must stand at least 48 inches high measured from the ground on the side away from the pool, and chain link is barred for enclosures built after January 1, 1994. A private backyard pool at a single-family home in the unincorporated county falls outside Chapter 757 and outside county zoning, so its fence is governed by HOA deed restrictions. Sun City, Teravista, and Cimarron Hills deed restrictions commonly require enclosure fencing.
A POA or rental pool without a compliant 48-inch enclosure violates Chapter 757 and exposes the owner to civil liability. HOA fence rules are enforced through the association.
