Texas Health & Safety Code Ch. 757 requires apartment and HOA pool yards to be fully enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches high. The City of Lubbock's adopted pool code sets a comparable 48-inch barrier for private pools; the county sets no fence rule.
Under state law the owner of a multiunit rental complex or a property-owners association must completely enclose the pool yard, and the enclosure must be at least 48 inches high measured from the ground on the side away from the pool. Openings may not let a four-inch sphere pass beneath, and chain-link is banned for new enclosures built after January 1, 1994. For private single-family pools inside the City of Lubbock, the adopted International Swimming Pool and Spa Code likewise requires a minimum 48-inch barrier. Unincorporated Lubbock County has no independent fence ordinance.
State enclosure violations are enforced against apartment/HOA owners; city barrier violations bring municipal code-enforcement action and fines. The county cannot cite fence height in unincorporated areas.
