chicken laws in Dallas Texas?

Hello. Is anyone here familiar with the laws for keeping chickens on your property in Dallas Texas? Do they have to be kept in a coop at all times? My neighbor has about 20 chickens. Their "coop" is made out of a wire mesh and is right on the property line and just 5 feet from my house. It is junky and it smells bad. She lets them roam during the day. They seem to get over the 6 foot fence easily and roam the neighborhood, including my backyard, daily. She refuses to clip their wings because she wants them to be able to escape if a cat gets in her yard. Is this allowed? I don't want to cause problems with her, but I'm really tired of chickens in my yard.
