Ordinance No. 2083-07-26 amends Chapter 70, Miscellaneous Offenses, of the Nacogdoches Code of Ordinances. It adds Article IV, titled “Sex Offender Residency Restriction.”

The change may affect people subject to the ordinance, as well as landlords and property owners whose residences could be covered by the new municipal rules. It may also affect city enforcement operations. The available official record does not identify how many people or properties could be affected.

What the available record shows

The municipal-code entry identifies the ordinance as adopted by the City of Nacogdoches on July 7, 2026. The entry also lists severability, continuation and repeal clauses, along with an effective-date provision.

However, the surfaced codification record does not display the substantive text needed to determine the ordinance’s exact requirements. It does not show the restriction distances, the offenses covered, the enforcement provisions or the text of the effective date.

That means the adoption can be confirmed, but the available record does not support saying that the ordinance bars residence near a particular type of facility or within a particular distance. It also does not establish how the rules would apply to individual homes, rental properties or other locations.

City meeting timeline

The City of Nacogdoches’ fiscal-year 2026 council calendar lists meetings on July 7 and July 21, 2026. Regular meetings are normally held at 5:30 p.m. in the council chamber at Nacogdoches City Hall, 202 E. Pilar Street, Nacogdoches.

The calendar confirms the scheduled meeting dates and normal meeting location, but the approved records do not identify a specific July 21 agenda item or a planned council action concerning Ordinance No. 2083-07-26.

The available sources also do not establish whether the ordinance was challenged or amended after adoption. No independent original-reporting source was located in the reviewed material.

For residents, property owners and landlords, the practical details will depend on the full ordinance text, including its distance rules, covered offenses, enforcement language and effective date. Those details are not shown in the surfaced official codification entry.
