TX DOT rural off premise sign (billboard) permit. http://onlinemanuals.txdot.gov/txdotmanuals/bet/sign_permits.htm

Sign Permit Plate
The sign owner shall securely attach the sign permit plate to the part of the sign structure that is nearest to the rural road and visible from the closest right of way not later than the 30th day after the date that the sign is erected.

• the sign permit plate may not be removed from the sign.
• the sign permit plate must remain visible from the closest right of way at all times.
• if a sign permit plate is lost or stolen or becomes illegible, the sign owner must submit to TxDOT a request for a replacement plate in a form prescribed by TxDOT accompanied by the replacement plate fee of $25.

Failure to apply for a replacement permit or attach the plate to the sign structure as required in subsection (a) of this section within 60 days of the date of written notification from TxDOT that the permit plate is not visible or attached may result in an enforcement action.

Tex, check the number and see who pulled it. I'm betting on it being Sam Houston.

Never knew the state did that. I found an interactive map and tried to search that sign and got nadda. I zoomed into the place it was and it's not listed.

You should check to see if a prison was nearby. That was the source for license plates.
