In cases where a tree is dangerous for people or structures because it is leaning, dropping limbs, or the trunk is split, you can almost always cut your tree without a permit. A fallen tree is also generally exempt from permitting rules.
In Texas, trees are defined for the most part as being the property owners responsibility if it is firmly on their property. Some trees are protected by the Lone Star state but as long as your tree is not on that list, you can legally remove your tree if you go through the legal process.
Medium-sized trees, between 30 and 60 feet, could cost anywhere from $500 to $1,000 to remove. Large trees over 60 feet tall may have removal costs starting at $1,000 and can go upwards of $2,000, especially if they have a substantial tree trunk diameter or complex root systems.
Neighbors Trees A neighboring landowner has the right to trim or cut off the limbs or branches of the tree to the property line. Even though the neighbor has the right to trim the tree, they could be sued if they injure the tree or other property in the process.
Trees with trunks that grow within your property (within the propertys boundary lines) are considered yours. This is applicable no matter how the tree grows onto another property. Trees with trunks that have roots on your land are your property. You are, therefore, responsible for having the tree removed.
