Relating to restrictive covenants prohibiting the display of a sign containing a political message.
HB 4356 prevents homeowners associations (HOAs) from enforcing or creating rules that ban property owners from displaying at least one sign containing primarily a political message on their own property. The bill specifically prohibits HOAs from restricting such signs, except for advertisements promoting specific election candidates or ballot measures. This change directly affects homeowners who want to display political signs and HOAs that previously enforced such restrictions. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies to all residential properties governed by HOAs in Texas.
