Resident urges Collin County to back state bill lowering nighttime noise limits

Richard Hill, a resident and public commenter, told the court that noisy renters and property owners are disrupting neighborhoods and urged the court to support a state-level change to allow counties more authority over noise limits. Hill said "Virtually every city in Collin County has a noise ordinance," and that he had asked Representative Leach to present a bill to the Texas State Legislature in 2027 to lower the allowable nighttime decibel level to between 55 and 60 decibels.
