Galveston County does not paint or regulate curb markings; curbs belong to the city or the state road authority. In the City of Galveston, only the city may mark curbs for no-parking, loading or handicap use. Residents cannot legally paint public curbs themselves.
Curb markings are a traffic-control device, so under Texas law only the governing authority for the roadway may install them, following the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Galveston County does not maintain painted curbs, and no county ordinance addresses curb color. Inside the City of Galveston, the city marks curbs for no-parking, loading zones and accessible parking; a resident painting a public curb has no legal effect and can be cited for defacing public property. On state roads, TxDOT controls curb and pavement markings.
Painting or altering a public curb without authority can be treated as defacing public property; only official city or state markings are enforceable.
