TX HB3611

Amends Texas Transportation Code Section 393.007 to establish a tiered civil penalty structure for unauthorized signs placed on public road rights-of-way: up to $1,000 for first violation, up to $2,500 for second violation, and up to $5,000 for third or subsequent violations

Requires political subdivisions to provide written notice to first-time violators, giving them a specified period to remove the sign before civil penalties can be assessed

Expands liability to include persons whose commercial advertisement appears on an unauthorized sign, not just those who physically place or commission the sign's placement

Broadens the definition of "person" to include employees, agents, independent contractors, assignees, business alter egos, and successors in interest

Removes the previous provision allowing separate penalties for each day a continuing violation occurs; takes effect September 1, 2025
