(2)

exempt those types of signs from the notice requirements of Section 393.003 (Confiscation, Notice, and Public Auction).

(b)

In determining the types of signs that are unlikely to be reclaimed, the commissioners court may consider:

If the commissioners court exempts certain types of signs under this section, the sheriff or constable shall store a confiscated sign that is exempted for 21 days after the date the sign is confiscated and shall make the sign available for reclamation by the owner. After that period, the sheriff or constable may discard the sign.
