Political signs are protected speech under the First Amendment and Texas Election Code. Allen allows political signs on private property with owner consent. Signs may not exceed 36 square feet per Texas Transportation Code and must be removed within 10 days after the election.
Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015) prohibits content-based sign restrictions. Allen treats political signs under the same time, place, and manner rules as other temporary signs. Placement on public property and rights-of-way is prohibited. TX Election Code Section 259.002 protects homeowner association members from HOA bans on political signs during the 90 day pre-election window.
