Texas has no specific laws regarding fences directly on the boundary line between neighbors, though your city or HOA might have more specific instructions. In general, if it's on your side of the property line, you own it. If it's directly on the property line, then you and your neighbor probably own it jointly.
Homeowners associations (HOAs) can no longer deny building a fence for security. ing to a state law passed on Texas HOA fence rules in 2021, homeowners anywhere in the state are allowed to put up a perimeter fence for added security along the front, sides and/or back of their property.
Boundary lines help determine the extent of a property and its legal ownership. Specifically, these lines define a property's physical limits and help prevent conflicts between neighboring property owners.
