- [Who is responsible for a tree touching a power line in San Antonio?](https://southtexastreeservice.net/guides/tree-touching-power-line-san-antonio/): CPS Energy trims around its own poles and distribution lines. The service line from the pole to the house is the property owner's responsibility, and CPS Energy asks for at least 5 business days notice to temporarily disconnect it for safe trimming. Only tree companies meeting OSHA qualifications may trim near high-voltage lines. Report a tree at 210-353-2222. Source: cpsenergy.com/treetrimming.
- [When can you prune oak trees in San Antonio?](https://southtexastreeservice.net/guides/oak-wilt-pruning-calendar-san-antonio/): Avoid pruning oaks February through June when sap beetles are most active; November through January is the safest window. San Antonio ordinance 21-170 requires all oak wounds exposing sapwood to be painted within thirty minutes, year round, and bans bringing oak wilt infected firewood into the city. Oak wilt spreads through connected root systems at an average of 75 feet per year. Sources: Texas A&M Forest Service, City of San Antonio Code of Ordinances.
