“Collecting rainwater is legal in Texas, and state law encourages it. Harvesting rain can help lower water bills, reduce runoff that contributes to soil erosion, and ease demand on groundwater and municipal supplies.

Certain new state buildings must incorporate harvesting systems. Property owners may qualify for a property tax exemption covering part or all of approved water conservation improvements.”
