Senate Bill No. 1926, introduced by Hinojosa of Nueces, amends Section 391.252(a) of the Transportation Code to regulate the erection of commercial signs along specific highways in Texas. The bill specifically updates the segment of U.S. Highway 77 that is subject to these regulations by changing the reference from State Highway 44 to State Highway 285. This change is part of a broader list of highways where the erection of commercial signs is prohibited if they are adjacent to and visible from these roadways.

The bill aims to enhance the visual landscape along U.S. Highway 77 and other specified highways by limiting commercial signage, which can detract from the natural scenery and overall aesthetic of these areas. The new regulations will take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing for a transition period for compliance.
