Full Breakdown
Texas Transportation Code Sec. 545.307 prohibits parking a commercial motor vehicle on a residential street between 10 PM and 6 AM in a subdivision that has posted signs prohibiting such parking. Flower Mound enforces this provision through the Police Department and Code Enforcement. Under Ch. 98 Zoning, home occupation regulations prohibit external evidence of business activity, which includes commercial vehicle signage and equipment visible from the street. Vehicles displaying commercial lettering, logos, or equipment racks are generally expected to be stored in enclosed garages in most residential zoning districts. Flower Mound does not set a specific weight limit in its local ordinance, deferring to the state definition of commercial motor vehicle. Most master-planned community HOAs in Flower Mound (Bridlewood, Wellington, Canyon Falls) have CC&R provisions that restrict or prohibit parking commercial vehicles, box trucks, or work trailers in driveways or on the street regardless of time of day.
Violations & Fines
State violation: fine up to $500 per offense. Local code violation: $200 to $500 per day after notice.
