Canyon Lake tree removal rules
Paint or cover every oak wound, at any time of year. Tree clearing inside a county road right-of-way needs a Comal County PIPROW permit; see the county permits page. Texas law also bars bringing any tool within six feet of a high-voltage line without safety arrangements with the line operator, so call the line's operator before limbs near the wires come down. Work closer than that needs 48 hours' notice to the line operator. Oak wilt moves between neighboring oaks through grafted roots, so one dying oak is worth an arborist's look before removal.
