Everywhere in Houston and our great country the free enterprise system thrives on advertisement. For years before mass media there were signs to lure propective buyers or future clients and now there are many more signs. We now find our roadways lined with signage from bill boards to bandit signs, some flashing and some blown up gorrillas swaying in the breeze over the hopefull business.

Renaissance 1960 believes that the existing legislation as approved by Harris County, The City of Houston and the State of Texas must be enforced to properly manage signage and curb sign blight. To that end the page provides links to those rules, ordinances and regulations.

Not all rules are applicable in all locations. That is part of the challenge we in the community must face but we must become knowledgable about those rules, assist the various agencies in the application of those rules and insist the rules be fairly and thoroughly administered.
