The sign, near the Houston-area city of Cypress, is supposed to read "Hempstead," KHOU reported. However, the letters "s" and "t" are transposed, so the sign reads as "Hemptsead," the television station reported.

Harris County officials said they are aware of the typographical glitch and are working to fix the problem, KHOU reported.
