How Do I Test My Pool Safety Features in Texas?

Patrick Kevin FaganPatrick Kevin FaganUpdated August 19, 2026

Texas law requires at least four-foot-tall fencing around residential pools with a self-closing, self-latching gate that opens outward. Check that the gate latch is above the reach of small children, that there are no gaps larger than four inches, and that the fence has no climbable objects nearby. A pool cover or safety net adds another layer of protection.
