Posters as a form of protest have a long history, but these days it seems easy to be arrested and charged for things that really are trivial.

During the Republican Party convention in New York in 2004, a protester built a machine that he used to put slogans on the sidewalks in chalk. He was arrested and had a rather hard time, IMHO. (Google Joshua Kinberg for details.)

Maybe.
§ 28.03. CRIMINAL MISCHIEF. (a) A person commits an offense if, without the effective consent of the owner:...
(2) he intentionally or knowingly tampers with the tangible property of the owner and causes pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience to the owner or a third person; or
(3) he intentionally or knowingly makes markings, including inscriptions, slogans, drawings, or paintings, on the tangible property of the owner.
I think an imaginative police officer could bust you for trespass or terroristic threats.
