Universal City, TX Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

Universal City residents may display political signs on their own private residential property during election seasons. Texas Election Code Section 259.002 prohibits HOAs from banning political signs on lots owned by members during the period beginning 90 days before an election and ending 10 days after, with reasonable size and content restrictions permitted. City sign codes generally treat temporary political signs on private property as permitted without a permit, subject to limits on size, typically 6 to 8 square feet per sign in residential districts, and placement setbacks from property lines and sight triangles at corners. Signs in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, on medians, or on traffic signs are strictly prohibited and subject to immediate removal. Electioneering near polling places must comply with Texas Election Code 61.003 which bans campaign activity within 100 feet of an entrance. Signs may not be illuminated in ways that create glare or be placed in ways that obstruct visibility at intersections.
