Overview

Texas hospitals are subject to numerous laws and regulations mandating certain signage in their facilities. Some signage requirements are intended to improve patient and visitor safety, while others provide employee protections or convey information of interest to the community. While signage may seem like a minor part of overall hospital operations, failure to adhere to mandatory signage requirements can impact a hospital’s licensure and subject the facility to fines and other consequences.

The Texas Hospital Association has developed this guidebook to assist Texas hospitals understand what is required and how to remain in compliance.

The guide includes:

  • Alphabetical list of required signs, with examples;  
  • Chart showing required sizes, fonts, and location of signs; and 
  • Frequently asked questions.
