Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

water runoff

I am developing a small mobile home park on 2.5 acres of land. I would like to know to what extent am I obligated to control water runoff ? Do I only need to control the runoff that my develpoment creates,or do I have to control the runoff that comes off the neighboring properties as well.

Most of the runoff comes from the neighboring undeveloped 13 acres above me. Right now all the runoff flowes into an estabilished housing area. Thanks

Re: water runoff

Generally in TX you can't change the direction or amount of runoff.
