Texas counties cannot zone, so unincorporated El Paso County has no garage-sale-sign ordinance. Signs may be posted on private property with the owner's permission, but signs in a county or state road right-of-way may be removed by the road authority under state law.
Garage-sale and yard-sale signs in unincorporated El Paso County are not controlled by any county sign ordinance, because Texas counties lack general zoning power; only cities regulate temporary signs, inside their limits. A resident may place a small sale sign on their own property, or on someone else's with consent. The chief limit comes from state right-of-way law: the Texas Transportation Code prohibits signs in the highway right-of-way, and signs stapled to utility poles or planted in the county road right-of-way can be removed as a hazard. Signs blocking a driver's view at an intersection may also be removed by the road authority. Keep signs on private land and out of the traveled way.
Posting garage-sale signs in the county or state road right-of-way, attaching them to utility poles or traffic signs, or blocking sight lines at an intersection can result in removal of the signs by the road authority under state right-of-way law.
