Brazoria County cannot regulate signs in unincorporated areas, so garage-sale signs on private property with owner consent are generally fine. But signs in a state highway right-of-way are illegal and TxDOT can remove them, and cities set their own temporary-sign rules.
A Texas county has no sign-zoning authority, so in unincorporated Brazoria County there is no county garage-sale-sign permit or removal rule — placement on your own property or another owner's property with consent is unrestricted by the county. However, placing any sign in the right-of-way of a state highway or its interchange violates Texas Transportation Code Ch. 393, and TxDOT (or the county in county right-of-way) can remove it. Inside a city such as Pearland, temporary/garage-sale signs are governed by the municipal sign ordinance, which typically limits size, duration, and off-premise placement.
Signs in a state right-of-way may be removed and, under Transportation Code Ch. 393, can carry a misdemeanor penalty; city sign ordinances impose their own fines.
