SOUTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Sex offenders in one South Texas town are now required to put signs in their yards identifying themselves that way.

The ordinance just passed in Gonzales. Most of the residents say they support it.

The catch is it only covers new offenders or when a current offender changes their address.

It's expected to take effect in about ten days.
