What is the name of your state (only U.S. What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
My neighbor directly across the road from us has a "security" camera that is on all the time. He has told me that it gets a good view of our driveway and garage. I have had issues with him complaining to animal control about a cat that goes in and out of our garage (the door does not close properly and I can't afford to fix it--nor am I required to by any law or homeowner's association that I know of). There is a leash law for cats where I live and so he's saying I have a cat off leash. I do not know who the cat belongs to. Apparently it also goes in his back yard and poops in his flowerbeds, which is why he's annoyed. I have an old car in the garage, and I think the cat just likes sleeping there because it's warm--it's NOT friendly, and I suspect it's feral. It doesn't bother me, though as we have had rodent issues in my area and I think it may be keeping the rats or mice out of my house, as I haven't had problems like some of my neighbors.
Anyway, my question is if it's legal in TX to have a camera like that taping my property all the time. Although this is property that is visible from the street, it seems a bit creepy to be videotaped all the time without permission (it also tapes my front entrance, I would assume).
