Political signs in Bexar County are protected by First Amendment and Texas Property Code 202.009, which prevents HOAs from banning political signs during the 90 days before an election, with size and placement rules.
Political sign rights in Bexar County are governed by a combination of federal First Amendment protections, Texas Election Code, and Texas Property Code 202.009 for HOA-governed subdivisions. Unincorporated Bexar County does not regulate the content of political signs but follows state rules on right-of-way placement. Signs may not be placed in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, or within sight-distance triangles of intersections. Along state highways, Texas Transportation Code 393.002 prohibits signs within the ROW. On private residential property, homeowners can post political signs at will, subject to HOA rules. Under Texas Property Code 202.009, HOAs cannot prohibit political signs during the period beginning 90 days before an election and ending 10 days after. HOAs may impose reasonable restrictions on size (typically limited to 4 feet by 6 feet or smaller), number per candidate or issue, placement outside common areas, and condition (must be well-maintained). Signs must be removed within 10 days after the election. Campaign finance disclosure rules are separate.
