Coop Ready Texas Live Oak
Not on typical home lots
The animal code bans poultry in the city, though the zoning table conflicts; ask the city before getting hens.
Poultry is listed as livestock under 'prohibited animal', and possessing any prohibited animal is unlawful. The zoning use table lists 'agricultural animal husbandry' as permitted in R-1 to R-3 and R-6, which conflicts with the ban. Texas Ag Code 251.0055 (HB 1750, 2023) may limit city rules on agricultural operations; it is untested for backyard hens.
