HB 3457 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to commercial signs along U.S. Highway 77.

This bill prohibits the erection of new commercial signs adjacent to and visible from specific highway segments, including a designated section of U.S. Highway 77 between State Highway 186 and State Highway 285. It directly affects businesses seeking to install or maintain signs along these corridors, banning such signs in 19 defined highway locations across Texas. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and amends the Transportation Code to restrict commercial signage in these areas. The focus is on preventing new signage along these routes, not altering existing signs.
