Relating to the installation of highway signs for certain cultural attractions by the Texas Department of Transportation.

HB 1029 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 to guide travelers to the Museum of the Big Bend. The bill specifically allows TxDOT to bypass standard distance limitations in traffic control devices for this sign, while still complying with all other federal and state traffic control standards. This legislation directly affects TxDOT’s signage policies and travelers visiting the Museum of the Big Bend in the Big Bend region. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not alter broader TxDOT policies beyond this specific sign installation.
