Texas SB141 allows up to six chickens on single-family residential lots, prohibiting restrictive covenants and ordinances against this.

Texas SB141 amends local government and property codes to allow residents to keep up to six chickens on single-family residential lots. It prohibits municipalities and property owners' associations from enforcing any restrictive covenants or ordinances that ban or limit keeping six or fewer chickens. However, these entities can impose reasonable regulations that do not effectively prohibit keeping six chickens, such as limits on the number of chickens beyond six, prohibitions on breeding or keeping roosters, or setting minimum distances between chicken coops and other structures.
