Rollout plan (TX-friendly, date-free)
6–8 weeks before your primary: Approve art; place your first wave on private-property frontage along commuter routes.
3–5 weeks before: Expand into priority neighborhoods; hold 10–15% for late-stage replenishment.
Early voting window: Add directionals where allowed; replace anything bent or faded.
Final 7–10 days: Densify near key intersections and approach lanes.
After polls close: Pull, wipe, stack by precinct; prep for potential runoff.

Compliance (Texas)
Not legal advice: Rules can vary by city/county/HOA—always check TxDOT guidance and your local requirements.
Place signs on private property with permission, and observe local ordinances and polling-place buffers.
Right-of-way is off limits: Don’t place campaign signs in the highway right-of-way or on public land (medians, poles, trees, etc.).
Timing varies locally: Timing rules for when signs can go up and when they must come down are often set by city/county sign codes and
HOA rules. To stay safe, confirm local requirements and remove signs promptly after Election Day.
HOAs can set limits: HOAs may still regulate size, number, and mounting—review HOA rules before placing signs.
Print this required notice on political signs:
“NOTICE: IT IS A VIOLATION OF STATE LAW (CHAPTERS 392 AND 393, TRANSPORTATION CODE), TO PLACE THIS SIGN IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF A HIGHWAY.”
FAQs
1) What’s included at $2.99 (100, 1-color)?
H-stakes, free shipping, and double-sided printing, plus a free proof.
2) Do you offer price matching?
Yes, we offer a 14-day Price Match Guarantee as long as all specs align.
3) How many signs should we plan for?
For most Texas primaries, start around 250–500 for small municipal/ISD races and 750–1,500 for larger city/county races. Roll out in phases (commuter corridors → neighborhoods) and hold 10–15% in reserve for late refresh.
4) How do same-day/next-day speeds work?
Orders with approved proofs placed by 11am CT are typically queued for same-day Houston pickup or next-day delivery to many TX metros. Carrier limits, inventory, and holidays may affect availability.
5) When should we start putting Texas primary yard signs out?
A practical plan is to start your main push in the final weeks leading up to Election Day. In HOA neighborhoods, Texas law generally protects homeowners’ ability to display political signs starting 90 days before an election through 10 days after (with certain restrictions), which makes that window a common planning baseline. If your signs are regulated as roadside political campaign signs under TxDOT guidance, the 90-days-before / 10-days-after window is also commonly referenced. Because local rules vary, confirm your city/county sign code and HOA rules—and keep signs out of the highway right-of-way.
