I need to read up on this ordinance. I wonder if it's against the law to put a sign up if you AREN'T an offender? Imagine driving down a street and EVERY yard has a sign in it:-))
Speaking of that. What if the offender doesn't even HAVE a yard? For example they live in an apartment?

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

Current Offenders Would Be Excluded From Ordinance

POSTED: 12:34 pm CST March 3, 2006

CUERO, Texas -- High-risk sex offenders who move to Cuero will have to announce their presence with a sign in their yards.

The City Council unanimously approved an ordinance Thursday that calls for a white 2-by-2 sign with black lettering that carries the message "A Registered Sex Offender Lives Here." The sign must be visible at all times from the nearest public roadway and be within 20 feet of the front entrance of the residence.

Rebecca Baas of San Antonio, who identified herself as a volunteer with Child Advocates of San Antonio and with the Rape Crisis Center, asked the council to defeat the ordinance, saying the signs aren't the answer.

"The ordinance will create a situation that the offender will feel powerless and isolated," Baas told the council members. "That increased isolation could lead to triggers, leading to an offense. Instead of actually protecting children, the ordinance would do the exact opposite."</span></blockquote>
