you must stop behind the first white line painted on the ground next to the stop sign
You should stop your car just before the line, ensuring that no part of your car crosses it.
Yes, when you come to a stop sign you must stop your vehicle. You must look both ways, and pay attention to oncoming traffic. When safe to proceed, you can go.

The rule is to stop behind the stop sign. If there is a white line on the road, the vehicle should be completely behind it. Once you have come to a full stop, you may have to creep forward to see safely.

Who was at the stop sign first? It is like a four way stop but only two ways. At a 4 way stop, the first vehicle to the stop sign has the right of way. When only the cross-street has stop signs, if one vehicle has stopped and the other is still approaching the stop sign, the first vehicle may proceed, including making a left in front of the approaching vehicle. But once both have stopped, the left turning vehicle must yield.
The rules for a stop sign are that you must come to a full stop before entering the intersection, give right-of-way to any other traffic, and then proceed only when the way is clear. If there is a stop line, you must stop before that line. If you cannot see oncoming traffic from that stop line, then you must also stop prior to entering the intersection.
Your wheels must come to a stop, or in other words stop rotating. Otherwise its called a "rolling stop" and you can be ticketed.
Your vehicle must come to a complete full stop before the crosswalk or stop line. After a full-stop has been made, there is no minimum time your vehicle must remain stopped, proceed when it is safe to do so. vehicles usually have the right-of-way to proceed through the intersection in the order that they arrived at the intersection. In the USA, including Texas, if vehicles arrive at approximately the same time, each driver must yield to the drivers to their right, for non-Texans that would be the other vehicle that is the closest to the passenger side of your vehicle.
You must still come to a complete stop. Even if there is a flashing red light you must stop.
All vehicles and bicycles must stop at a stop sign, including motorcycles.
No. Such a law does not exist in NC, nor in any other state. ALL vehicles are required to come to a full and completestop at a stop sign. I've known cases of the Johnston County Sheriff's Office citing people for failure to stop at a stop sign simply because, even though they did come to a complete stop, they took off before their car settled.
Treat it as a stop sign. Could be the lights are out (from a power outage/surge, etc), or its design.It means you are to come to a complete stop at that intersection, and proceed when it is safe to do so.Added: Unless it is illuminated on an emergency vehicle of some type (police/fire/EMS), then you must yield the right-of-way to that vehicle and or pull to the curb so as not to interfere with its safe passage.
It is not safe to pull from a stop sign when a vehicle is just 120 feet away. At 25 miles per hour, a vehicle can travel that distance in about one second.
