HCPHES investigates complaints that may
violate the Texas Neighborhood Nuisance Abatement Act, a law
intended to eliminate public nuisances in unincorporated areas
of Texas.  Examples of neighborhood nuisances include
accumulated rubbish, standing water, conditions that harbor
insects and rodents, abandoned swimming pools, high weeds and
dilapidated structures. Following an investigation that
results in a nuisance notification, a property owner or occupant
has thirty days to eliminate the nuisance.  Failure to comply
can result in civil action or criminal prosecution.
