Sec. 216.902. REGULATION OF OUTDOOR SIGNS IN MUNICIPALITY'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION. (a) A municipality may extend the provisions of its outdoor sign regulatory ordinance and enforce the ordinance within its area of extraterritorial jurisdiction as defined by Chapter 42 . However, any municipality, in lieu of the regulatory ordinances, may allow the Texas Transportation Commission to regulate outdoor signs in the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction by filing a written notice with the commission. (b) If a municipality extends its outdoor sign ordinance within its area of extraterritorial jurisdiction, the municipal ordinance supersedes the regulations imposed by or adopted under Chapter 394 , Transportation Code. (c) The authority granted to a municipality by this section to extend its outdoor sign ordinance does not apply to: (1) on-premises signs in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of municipalities in a county described by Section 394.063 , Transportation Code, if the circumstances described by that section occur; (2) on-premises signs in a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction in a county that borders a county described by that law; and (3) on-premises signs in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality with a population of 1.5 million or more that are located in a county that is adjacent to the county in which the majority of the land of the municipality is located.
