The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has opened discussions to raise the height of billboards along federal highways, a proposal opposed by some environmental watchdog groups. Paige Phelps filed this report.

If you would like to weigh in on the issue, TxDOT is currently taking public comments. Email rulecomments@txdot.gov with the subject "Right of Way" by 5 p.m. on July 14.
