Texas Mural Vanished Overnight | Texas Longhorns Basketball News

The iconic “TEXAS” street mural on Guadalupe Street is gone—covered in gravel early Thursday after Austin complied with a state mandate from the Texas Department of Transportation to remove any non-standard road art. Installed in May to celebrate UT’s new sports conference, the mural is now replaced with plain crosswalk lines, joining other street artworks like rainbow crosswalks and the “Black Artists Matter” mural also slated for removal. The push began in October 2025, when officials declared such markings could “compromise safety,” especially if political or unconventional. While some argue the move prioritizes safety in a busy, complex street environment, drivers are warned to watch out for flying gravel from heavy bus traffic.
