The City of Lubbock makes it unlawful to be in any public park between midnight and 5 a.m. Statewide, Texas HB 1819 (2023) repealed all juvenile curfews, so neither Lubbock County nor any city may adopt or enforce a curfew based on a person's age.
Lubbock County operates few parks and has no countywide park-curfew ordinance. The City of Lubbock sets the operative rule in Code of Ordinances Section 16.01.007: it is unlawful to enter, remain, or be upon Meadowbrook Golf Course or any public park in the city between 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m., except for authorized city employees or persons authorized by the parks director. Separately, Texas House Bill 1819, effective September 1, 2023, repealed the authority for juvenile curfews statewide; new Local Government Code Section 370.007 provides that a political subdivision may not adopt or enforce a curfew regulating persons younger than 18, and the county's former juvenile-curfew authority (LGC 351.903) was repealed. Emergency curfews under the Texas Disaster Act remain available.
Being in a City of Lubbock park during the midnight-to-5 a.m. closed hours is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine. Age-based juvenile curfews are no longer enforceable anywhere in Texas.
