In Texas, there are many laws when it comes to political signs such as placement, amount, and even what the sign can look like. Residents are allowed to have one campaign sign per candidate they are supporting. So if you have to Abbott signs or Beto signs you are going to have to pick one. Each candidate is allowed to have two campaign signs per polling location and when those signs get destroyed, damaged, or vandalized they will likely just put up another one that same day.
