does anyone know what the code restrictions currently are for Dallas in regards to fence and gate heights in a residential front yard? it seems they change them on a monthly basis depending on the wind...

They should have it on their website.

That would be zoning, not building code. It should be on their website.

Make a phone call. I know here in FTW, front yard fences can't be over 4' and must be open design, but no chain link.
