Texas House of Representatives is trying to pass two bill that would give individual counties the authority to regulate tower siting, antenna's and ANY wireless device. And Yes that does mean your Ham radio. The ARRL has drafted and submitted an amendment to the bill, but there has been no word on whether it will be included. The first bill is H.B. No. 1148 and the other is H.B. No 1492. 1148 is one bill that should aggressively opposed. The other bill would require lighting and marking of ALL antenna's/towers between 50 and 200 feet. To find out more about this and to voice your dollars worth (this is worthy of more than a dollar), go to:
www.capitol.state.tx.us/Towards the bottom of the page is a place to enter the bill number. Enter HB1148 or HB1492
There is a lot of stuff on that page, but worth looking at.
