SB 1992 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the display of "In God We Trust" on municipal and county buildings.

SB 1992 requires Texas cities and counties to display "In God We Trust" on the outside of their buildings if a donor provides the signage and covers all installation costs. It applies only when a third party donates the sign and pays for its mounting, not through public funds. The law mandates this display in a "conspicuous place" for all municipal and county buildings owned, leased, or used by local governments. Local governments must comply as soon as practicable after the bill takes effect (immediately with a two-thirds vote or September 1, 2025, otherwise). This bill directly affects all Texas municipalities and counties by adding a conditional display requirement for donated religious signage.
