Guadalupe County imposes no replant-what-you-cut rule, and Texas has no statewide replacement law. Replacement arises only through city development codes, which Texas caps by requiring planting credits against mitigation fees.
No Texas statute and no Guadalupe County ordinance requires a homeowner to replant after removing a tree, so routine removals on unincorporated land carry no replacement duty. Replacement appears only through city development regulations. Seguin, Schertz, and Cibolo set landscaping and tree-mitigation requirements during subdivision and site-plan review, typically fixing replacement counts, caliper sizes, and approved species for new projects. Texas Local Government Code Section 212.905 governs how those cities may charge: a municipality that imposes a tree-mitigation fee must let the owner apply planting credits to offset it. Native, drought-tolerant species suit this region's heat and water limits.
Homeowners face no penalty for not replacing a removed tree on unincorporated land. On a regulated city development, failing to install or maintain required replacement landscaping violates the site-plan approval and can hold up occupancy permits.
