Full Breakdown
Texas Election Code Section 259.001 prohibits municipalities from restricting political signs on private property during the period starting 90 days before an election and ending 10 days after. Conroe's Chapter 90 (Signs) governs general sign regulations but cannot override the state election code protections for political speech. Outside the protected election period, political signs on private property are still broadly protected under First Amendment principles. Bandit signs placed on public rights-of-way are prohibited under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 393 regardless of content. HOA deed restrictions may impose additional rules on sign placement.
Violations & Fines
Bandit signs on public rights-of-way subject to removal. HOA rules may impose fines for non-compliant signs.
