There is currently no court hearing date set for the lawsuit, and SpaceX has not issued public remarks on the case.

Dozens of homeowners in South Texas have filed federal lawsuits against SpaceX, alleging that rocket activity at the Starbase facility has caused ongoing noise, vibrations, and sonic booms that damaged their homes.

The lawsuits claim a continuing nuisance and property damage from SpaceX launches and related activities, asserting the company’s operations have harmed local residents.

Plaintiffs say sonic booms from SpaceX’s 400-foot, two-stage rockets damaged walls, windows, and roofs, though the complaints do not specify exact damages for individual homes.

The Federal Aviation Administration granted SpaceX permission in 2025 to launch up to 25 rockets per year, five times the prior year, increasing regional activity and fueling related controversies, including a separate beach-closure lawsuit tied to launches.

SpaceX has expanded its footprint in South Texas, tied to the Starbase development and broader discussions on land deals and wildlife refuge acquisitions as part of an operational ramp-up.

The initial Starship launch in 2023 showcased the rockets’ destructive potential, with the booster destroying the launch pad and debris scattering widely.

The actions were filed in federal court as a coordinated effort by local residents seeking relief or compensation for disturbances.

The lawsuit seeks a jury trial, monetary damages, court costs, and attorney fees, with 53 homes owned by plaintiffs in the affected communities.
