number may be included on the signs if the respective public comment
periods coincide;
(4) Signs must include the words "for further information
contact";
(5) Signs must include the words "Texas Commission

regional office;
(6) Signs must include the telephone number of the

than 1,500-foot intervals. A minimum of one sign, but no more than
three signs must be required along any property line paralleling a
public highway, street, or road. The executive director may approve
variations from these requirements if it is determined that alternative
sign posting plans proposed by the applicant are more effective in
providing notice to the public. This section's sign requirements do
not apply to properties under the same ownership that are noncontiguous
or separated by intervening public highway, street, or road, unless
directly involved by the permit application.
(d) The executive director may approve variations from
the requirements of this subsection if the applicant has demonstrated
that it is not practical to comply with the specific requirements
of this subsection and alternative sign posting plans proposed by
the applicant are at least as effective in providing notice to the
public. The approval from the executive director under this subsection
must be received before posting signs for purposes of satisfying the
requirements of this section.
(e) Alternative language sign posting is required whenever
alternative language newspaper notice would be required under §39.426
of this title (relating to Alternative Language Requirements). The
applicant shall post additional signs in each alternative language
in which the bilingual education program is taught. The alternative
language signs must be posted adjacent to each English language sign
required in this section. The alternative language sign posting requirements
of this subsection must be satisfied without regard to whether alternative
language newspaper notice is waived under §39.426 of this title.
The alternative language signs must meet all other requirements of
this section.
