Relating to the authority of a municipality or a property owners' association to regulate the raising or keeping of chickens.

SB 141 allows homeowners in Texas to raise up to six chickens on single-family residential lots, preventing municipalities and homeowners' associations from banning this practice. It permits local governments and neighborhood groups to set reasonable rules - like limiting roosters, restricting breeding, or requiring coop distances from homes - but not to prohibit six or fewer chickens. The law applies to new homeowners' association rules created after September 1, 2025, and takes effect immediately if passed with a two-thirds vote, or on September 1, 2025, otherwise. This directly affects residents in areas with existing chicken-raising bans and clarifies the legal boundaries for local regulations.
