Full Breakdown
Because Texas counties can't zone, unincorporated Cameron County imposes no size or weight limit on vehicles parked at a home; cities set those. In the county's coastal parks, oversized vehicles are managed by fee and space rules: buses pay a $30 per-vehicle entrance fee, and each RV site allows one RV plus two vehicles with only two motor-vehicle passes. An oversized vehicle left abandoned on a public road is handled under Transportation Code Ch. 683, not a size ordinance.
Violations & Fines
In county parks, oversized vehicles encroaching on other spaces are towed at the owner's expense; abandoned oversized vehicles are impounded under Transportation Code Ch. 683.
