Relating to certain outdoor signs regulated by the Texas Department of Transportation.

HB 2829 modifies Texas permit renewal rules for outdoor signs regulated by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). It allows permit holders who unknowingly let their permits expire to renew them up to seven years later, provided they pay all overdue fees, a late renewal fee, and submit a statement confirming they lacked knowledge of renewal requirements. This applies to businesses or individuals managing signs along state highways or roads. The bill ensures these renewals prevent penalties for past violations of sign regulations related to the expired permit, effective September 1, 2025.
