Texas pool fence law: what applies to your backyard
Which rule governs a single-family pool fence in Texas, the CPSC barrier figures worth building to, and a ten-minute audit of the gate, the gaps and the drain cover.
A community pool, kept to the standard Texas holds it to.
An HOA pool is not a big back yard pool. Texas files it as a public pool, which means the water is held to a written standard, tested and logged, and a broken gate latch or a loose drain cover is a reason an inspector can close it on the Fourth of July. We price it by how often somebody has to be there, publish where each tier starts, and confirm the figure after walking the pool with whoever manages it.

$425 to $1,815+ a month across the DFW area, depending on how often we visit.
Every figure is a starting price. We set the final one after walking the pool, and price a spa or a splash pad as its own line.
We walk the pool, the equipment room, and the gates with the manager or a board member, and measure what the tiers are priced on.
You get a monthly figure for the tier that fits, at or above the published floor, with anything extra, like a spa or a splash pad, listed as its own line.
Every visit is recorded in the pool log the state expects to see. On the three-visit tier we leave a test kit and log sheet for your monitor on the days between.
Photo reports after each visit and a monthly summary, so the next board meeting has the readings instead of a guess.
True Texan Pools keeps your water swim-ready all year, across Plano and the rest of DFW. Clear pricing, a photo report after every visit, and Austin doing every job himself.
Ours starts at $425 a month for off-season care, $960 a month for three visits a week through the swim season, and $1,815 a month for a visit every day. Each is a floor: the final figure is set after a walk-through, because pool volume, a spa, a splash pad, and how busy the pool gets all change the work.
More visits and more to check. A community pool is open to every household in the neighborhood, so it is held to the public pool standard: tested daily while it is open, logged, and inspected. Every visit includes the gates, the drain covers, and the signs, not only the water.
Not this one. Send us the pool address and the name of whoever manages it, and we will set up a walk-through. The published prices are there so the board has a number before that meeting, not instead of it.

The target for each of the five readings, what each one controls, the order to adjust them in, and how often to test through a Plano summer.
