Texas law protects the right to display political signs on private property. Humble cannot prohibit political signs in residential areas. HOAs may regulate size and number but cannot ban political signs within certain timeframes before elections. Signs must not obstruct visibility at intersections.
Texas Election Code Section 259.002 prohibits municipalities from banning political signs on private property. Humble residents may display political signs in their yards during election periods. Texas Property Code Section 202.009 limits HOA restrictions on political signs, allowing display beginning the 90th day before an election and requiring removal by the 10th day after. HOAs may regulate the size, number, and location of political signs but cannot prohibit them entirely during the protected period. Signs must not be placed on public property or in public rights-of-way without authorization. Signs must not create sight-line obstructions at intersections. Commercial-style political signs may require different treatment under the sign ordinance. Contact Code Enforcement at (281) 446-4331 for questions about sign placement in public areas.
Placing political signs on public property or rights-of-way without authorization may result in sign removal. Signs that obstruct traffic visibility can be removed immediately for safety. HOAs that improperly restrict political signs during the protected election period may face legal challenge under state law.
