Texas wake-sport rules
Texas has no statewide wakesurfing-specific law. General rules (TPWD, Parks & Wildlife Code ch. 31 / 31 TAC) require headway/no-wake speed within 50 feet of other vessels, persons, platforms or shore for PWC, prohibit hazardous wakes, and hold operators liable for wake damage. No wake-surf-specific distance/depth/acreage thresholds exist statewide.
