Texas Law Lets Manufactured Homes In | Dallas News

Texas just cracked the door open for manufactured homes—new ones built to federal standards—by forcing cities to allow them in at least one zoning district. But don’t get too excited: it’s not a free pass. Cities still pick where they go, and local rules like lot size or design codes can make placement tough and pricey. The law doesn’t apply to older trailers or pre-1976 models, and homeowners won’t need extra permits if other houses in the zone don’t. If a city doesn’t respond within 45 days? It’s automatically approved. Some cities like League City and Pearland are already adapting, but advocates warn the real challenge is finding affordable land that meets all local hoops. So yes, you can now legally place a new manufactured home in more places—but your hunt for the perfect spot? Still on you.
