TXLuxx supplies and installs PERGOLUX motorized louvered pergolas across New Braunfels and the neighboring Schertz and Cibolo communities, for homes and commercial properties.
New Braunfels, Schertz, and Cibolo are each their own incorporated city with a separate building department, and New Braunfels itself straddles Comal and Guadalupe counties. Three cities, and in New Braunfels' case two counties, means we check the specific authority for your address rather than assuming.
Its own building department, and the city extends across both Comal and Guadalupe counties. Which side of that line your parcel sits on can matter.
An incorporated city with its own permitting process, spanning parts of Guadalupe, Bexar, and Comal counties depending on the address.
Also incorporated with its own building department, primarily in Guadalupe County.
Utilities get located and marked before footings go in, no matter which of the three cities you are in. Required statewide, no exceptions.
We confirm the specifics for your address before you commit. Requirements differ by city and, in New Braunfels' and Schertz's case, by which county your specific parcel falls in. We are not going to quote you a fee schedule off a website that may be out of date. We call the authority that actually governs your parcel and get the current answer.
Hill Country and I-35 corridor wind exposure is the reason to care about structural certification rather than taking a manufacturer's word for it.
PERGOLUX products were analyzed by Woodrock Engineering under the 2021 International Building Code and the 2020 Aluminum Design Manual, with a letter signed by John Kennedy, P.E. Freestanding units in an open wall configuration with louvers closed are certified to Ultimate Wind Speeds of 165 mph on select models. That is documentation you can hand a plans reviewer. Full load ratings by model and size.
Straight answers about approvals in this area.
Yes, in all three cities. New Braunfels, Schertz, and Cibolo each require a building permit for a permanent structure, issued to the property owner, through their own city building department.
It can. Which side of the Comal/Guadalupe county line your parcel sits on can affect which county records and utility contacts are relevant alongside the city permit. We confirm this for your specific address.
No. They are completely separate approvals. A building permit does not satisfy an HOA, and many subdivisions in this fast-growing corridor have active architectural review. Start that early.
We guide you through what is required and provide the engineering documentation the reviewer will ask for, including the stamped structural letter. The permit itself is issued to the property owner, and we cannot guarantee approval.
Free consultation. We will tell you honestly if it is not the right fit for your space.
