Human Trafficking Signs for Commercial Lodging
The Texas Legislature (87th Regular Session) also requires commercial lodging establishments to display human trafficking signage in a location that is easily visible to all employees. Signage must be posted in English, Spanish, and any other primary language spoken by 10% or more of the establishment’s employees. Free, downloadable templates of these signs, as well as HB 390’s signage requirements, can be found below. Please note these must be 11x17 in size. For printing convenience, we have a document that can be printed on 8.5x11 paper and taped together.
