Too Early for Signs?
So I've been checking out something for the last couple of weeks and wanted to clarify for a few different groups regarding campaign signs.
There is a little contradiction in the law, but here's what it looks like near as I can tell.
If the road is maintained by TxDOT, you can't start putting signs along said road until 90 days before the election. So on Horizon Boulevard near Sparks there is a sign for a former JP candidate that is trying to get her seat back.
That sign can't be up yet because Horizon is a TxDOT road. The same would technically also apply to all the freeways in town. But it would also apply to some other roads that you might not think about when you think about TxDOT. Alameda, McCrae, Mesa, Montana, North Loop, Socorro, Yarborough, and Zaragoza are all TxDOT maintained roads.
Someone sent me an example of a Fenenbock sign in a median near Loretto. That particular example is never allowed. You cannot place a political sign in the center island or medians of a road at any time.
However, there are no restrictions for signs on private property. So if you have a supporter who lives along one of those roads, you can put up a sign there at any time.
