Subdivision Stop Sign Litter Subdivision Stop Sign litter can be stopped, or significantly reduced, by informing your residents that it is against the law to place any type of signage on county property. Yes, this includes stop signs and other county informational signs located on public right-of-way. It also includes placing any type of signage on the right-of-way. Article 2372cc states, "signs on public road right-of-way in counties over 1,700,000, Section A, states a person may not place a sign on a public road right of way unless the placement is authorized by state law. Sec.3 A person commits an offense if the person places a sign in violation of Section 2 of this Act. An offense under this section is a Class C Misdemeanor. A reminder should be placed in your subdivision newsletter several times
a year stating it is illegal to place any type of signage in the county
right of way. Enforcement may be handled by a member of the Civic Association
contacting their particular County Commissioner, by letter, briefly stating
problem and asking for help in enforcing this law.

The second part of the law is the one that is most crucial if you want to eliminate soliciting calls.
Office of the Attorney General of TX PO Box 12548 Austin, TX 78711 Or call: 512-463-2070 This law, found at Texas Civic Statues Article 1336c, 119 and 120, requires a telephone solicitor to make every effort not to call a consumer who asks not to be called again. You must clearly state, "do not call me again - remove my name from your list." The Public Utility Commission of Texas investigates complaints relating to a violation of this law. For complaints concerning repeat solicitations, from a telephone solicitor you have asked not to call you again, contact: Public Information Office
Usually the solicitor will remove your name if you request; however,
if you encounter repeat calls from a particular solicitor, and wish to
register a complaint, be prepared to provide a history of the solicitor's
calls. You should keep detailed records, to include with your letter to
the Public Information Office, indicating the dates and times of the in
coming calls and the date a request was made to the solicitor not to call
your number again. It is best to register your complaint by letter, but
if you decide to register your complaint by a telephone call, be sure to
keep the date and name of the person you speak with at the Public Information
Office. In other words, keep detailed information for best results.
