Cameron County sets no rule on garage-sale or yard-sale signs in unincorporated areas, since Texas counties cannot zone. Cities regulate temporary signs within their limits. Keep signs out of the highway right-of-way; TxDOT controls advertising along state highways under Transportation Code Ch. 391 and Ch. 394.
Temporary-sign rules are a zoning matter that Texas counties lack authority over, so there is no Cameron County ordinance limiting the size, number, or placement of garage-sale signs outside city limits. Inside a city, the city's temporary-sign ordinance controls. Two real limits still apply county-wide: signs may not be placed in or obstruct a public road right-of-way, and outdoor advertising along interstate, primary, and other state highways is governed by TxDOT under Transportation Code Ch. 391 (and Ch. 394 for smaller roads outside city limits). Keep sale signs on private property with the owner's permission and remove them promptly after the sale.
No county garage-sale-sign penalty. Signs in the highway right-of-way may be removed by TxDOT or the county road department; commercial highway advertising without a license is penalized under Transp. Code Ch. 391.
