Texas counties cannot zone, so unincorporated Lubbock County sets no RV or boat parking rule. Inside the City of Lubbock, RVs, trailers and recreational equipment may not sit in the right-of-way or parkway and must stay out of the setback.
City of Lubbock Code sec. 20.04.017
In no event shall parking of recreational vehicles and recreational equipment or trailers, whether oversized or not, be allowed in the right-of-way or parkway.
Lubbock County cannot set driveway standards, so unincorporated areas have no rule. In the City of Lubbock, vehicles within the front setback of a lot on a paved street may only be parked on driveways or on paved off-street parking areas.
City of Lubbock Code sec. 20.04.017
In areas where there are paved streets, all vehicles, including recreational vehicles, and recreational equipment or trailers, whether oversized or not, that are within the established front setback shall only be parked on driveways or on paved off-street parking areas.
Lubbock County cannot zone commercial-vehicle parking. In the City of Lubbock, sec. 20.04.017 bars parking a truck, bus or heavy vehicle over 1-1/2 tons or 18 feet on a collector street or within 250 feet of any single-family residence.

Lubbock County has no county road-parking ordinance for city streets. Within the City of Lubbock, vehicles parked illegally on a street, alley, hydrant, crosswalk or loading zone, or abandoned, may be removed and impounded by the police.
City of Lubbock Code Ch. 20 (Parking, Stopping and Standing)
Any vehicle parked on any public street, or in an alley, or in front of a fire hydrant, or on any part of a crosswalk, or in any loading zone in violation of any provision of this chapter... or abandoned on public or private property, may, upon direction of the chief of police, be removed and impounded.
Neither Lubbock County nor Texas sets a blanket overnight parking ban. The county cannot zone, and the City of Lubbock has no general overnight prohibition, though a vehicle left too long can be treated as abandoned or a junked vehicle.
Lubbock County has no ordinance on electric-vehicle charging or EV parking; a Texas county cannot zone or set building standards. EV charger installation is governed by the state electrical code and, inside cities, by municipal building and electrical permits.
This is a real county power. Under Texas Transportation Code Ch. 683, a junked vehicle is a public nuisance, and Lubbock County may adopt procedures to abate and remove junked or abandoned vehicles from private or public property in unincorporated areas.
Tex. Transp. Code sec. 683.071(a)
"Junked vehicle" means a vehicle that is self-propelled and: (A) wrecked, dismantled or partially dismantled, or discarded; or (B) inoperable and has remained inoperable for more than: (i) 72 consecutive hours, if the vehicle is on public property; or (ii) 30 consecutive days, if the vehicle is on private property.
Colored-curb markings (red, yellow, etc.) are a municipal traffic-control device; Lubbock County paints none. Only the City of Lubbock and other incorporated towns designate and enforce painted-curb parking restrictions on their own streets.
Loading zones are a city traffic function; Lubbock County designates none. Within the City of Lubbock, a vehicle parked in a loading zone in violation of the parking chapter may be removed and impounded by the police.
The county cannot regulate oversized-vehicle parking. In the City of Lubbock, no part of a recreational vehicle, recreational equipment or trailer, regardless of size, may extend over the property line or into the sidewalk area.
City of Lubbock Code sec. 20.04.017
No portion of any recreational vehicle or recreational equipment or trailer, regardless of size, shall extend over the property line or into the sidewalk area.
