Good to know that about HArris County. Maybe that will help us get Travis County off their butts and with the program.

Illegal Signs in Austin

Thanks for posting the link. Looks like Harris county is going after the builders. That takes courage and I'm glad they are starting there. Hooray for Houston (actually, Harris County, I guess.)

P.S.: There are lots of comments on the paper's web site. The vast majority are very happy with the new enforcement. Of course, the occasional signs-help-small-business comment is there too.

Homebuilder being sued in Harris County

Harris County has sued a homebuilder over advertising signs placed along public rights of way, the first time the county has tried to enforce the state's new bandit sign law......
From July 1 through Dec. 31 of last year, the city removed more than 66,000 bandit signs from its rights of way, he said. During the same period, the city issued 126 citations to sign owners, seeking fines of $300 to $500.
