Cane Island is a Katy-area community of newer homes with more than 100 acres of lakes, parks and trails according to a housing directory. Fence questions are usually about upgrading a builder fence and approvals.
Who governs fences here
Public sources describe Cane Island as a Rise Communities development with the Cane Island Community Association and a Harris-Waller Counties MUD. Wikipedia describes it as zoned within the City of Katy. Sources conflict on the county, so treat both as unconfirmed and check your closing papers.
We did not find fence guidelines online. A third-party listing describes the area as outside the 100-year and 500-year floodplains, but confirm your specific lot with a survey or FEMA map.

About this area
Cane Island is a Rise Communities development of roughly 1,100 acres of former prairie, about three minutes from I-10, with more than 100 acres of lakes, parks and trails. Homes range from patio homes to custom estates, which means fence needs run from short side-yard runs to long, gated backyards. Newer homes here often start with a builder fence, so upgrades are a common request.
