Mrs. J. T. Smith, 114 Gunter Hotel,
SanAntonio, Texas.
Dear Madeira:
Some time ago this office received a letter from you asking whether there are any laws in this state covering bill boards or indiscriminate advertising along hignv.ays. We nave no laws relating to this matter. I believe, however, tnat the State Highway Commission, together with other governing ooc.ies vested with tne duty of maintaining highways have jurisdiction over indiscriminate advertising, not with a view, however, of improving the appearance of highways out rather to prevent such bill boards anci indiscriminate advertising to obstruct in any wise the highways of this state.
