Relating to the installation of highway signs for certain cultural attractions by the Texas Department of Transportation.
SB 1011 requires the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to install and maintain highway signs on Interstate 10 east and west of the U.S. Highway 67 intersection, directing travelers to the Museum of the Big Bend. The bill overrides standard distance rules for cultural attraction signs under traffic control guidelines, but the signs must still comply with the Texas and federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This law directly affects TxDOT's sign placement authority and visitors seeking the museum. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2025.
