Cooke County bans signs, other displays on its property
Protesters and others hoping to display signs on county property need to look elsewhere.
During a specially called meeting Friday morning, Sept. 4, members of the Cooke County Commissioners’ Court unanimously approved a policy regulating sign, symbols, structures, contrivances or devices on county property. The vote came after commissioners talked in closed session for a little more than an hour in the Commissioners’ Courtroom at the Cooke County Courthouse, 101 S. Dixon St.
According to the order, which is effective immediately, “a person or persons may not cause or authorize any signs, symbols, structures, contrivances or devices to be placed, installed, affixed or maintained on or over county property including the placement or installation of any signs, structures, contrivances, devices used for commercial or noncommercial purposes, except for items approved by the commissioners’ court.”
