Texas Health & Safety Code Section 757.004 requires every gate in a pool-yard enclosure at covered rental and POA complexes to be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch generally at least 60 inches above the ground. Corpus Christi's adopted ISPSC applies equivalent gate rules to residential pools.
Under Section 757.004 a gate in a fence or wall enclosing a pool yard must have a self-closing and self-latching device and hardware allowing it to be locked. The latch must sit at least 60 inches above the ground, or lower only if mounted on the pool side with no opening greater than one-half inch within 18 inches of the latch. Texas DSHS separately regulates public pool safety (drains, depth markings, lifesaving equipment) under 25 TAC Chapter 265. Nueces County has no separate pool safety ordinance for unincorporated land.
Covered rental/POA gates lacking self-closing, self-latching hardware violate Chapter 757; public-pool safety violations are enforced by DSHS or the local health department, with orders to correct or closure.
