19. I think there's zero chance of that

In the picture beyond the signs is bank property. No signs appear on the bank's property as I'm sure they don't allow them. On my side of that is nothing but residential property. I see these signs all the time near utilities. Perhaps people assume the utility company owns the property and won't bother to call them out for their placement. I'm sure this guy hires someone to place his signs as I see such people all the time putting them up and taking them down after an election. There's really very few places they can legitimately put these signs. TXDOT disallows them on any right of way. Per Texas law they have to get written permission to place signs on private property. I'm reasonably sure they never or rarely secure such permission. They just put signs up in places where they don't think people will complain. In this case the area is outside a brick wall which surrounds my subdivision. Both my HOA and the utility company have easements on my property, but those easements are very particular to the use case.
