Texas counties cannot zone, so unincorporated El Paso County has no political-sign ordinance regulating signs on private property. Election signs on private land are broadly protected speech, and state law restricts signs in the road right-of-way.
Political and campaign signs on private property in unincorporated El Paso County are not regulated by a county sign ordinance, because Texas counties have no general zoning authority; sign codes exist only inside city limits. A landowner may generally post political signs on their own property. The main statewide limit is placement near roadways: the Texas Transportation Code restricts signs in the state and county road right-of-way, signs on a state highway right-of-way are regulated under Transportation Code Chapter 393, and a sign blocking a driver's sight line at an intersection can be removed by the road authority or TxDOT as a hazard. Owners should keep signs on their own land and out of the right-of-way and sight triangles.
Placing political signs in the county or state road right-of-way, or where they block sight lines at an intersection, can lead to removal by the road authority or TxDOT, since right-of-way signs are not protected the way private-property signs are.
