The bill, H.B. No. 2007, introduces a new section to the Transportation Code that mandates county approval for certain commercial signs located adjacent to specific Ranch-to-Market Roads in Texas. The commissioners court of a county is granted the authority to require individuals to obtain this approval for the construction or reconstruction of commercial signs visible from Ranch-to-Market Road 12, 150, 967, and 1826. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Texas Department of Transportation cannot issue a permit for these signs unless the applicant has secured the necessary county approval.

This legislation aims to enhance local control over the placement of commercial signage along designated roads, ensuring that such signs meet county standards and regulations. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
