Curb-color parking rules come from the city, not Nueces County. Corpus Christi's code sets the meaning of curb markings: solid red means no parking, white with a stencil number is a time limit, yellow with black stripes is a bus zone, and yellow 'Loading Zone' lettering marks a loading zone.
Nueces County does not paint or regulate curb colors on city streets. Corpus Christi Code § 53-143 defines the official curb markings, and when placed on a curb they count as parking signs. Only the city may paint enforceable curb markings — residents should not paint their own curbs to reserve or restrict parking, as unauthorized markings are not enforceable and may be a code violation. On unincorporated county roads there is no county curb-color scheme.
Parking against an official curb marking (for example, a red curb) draws a Corpus Christi parking citation plus the $5 court cost under § 53-153.
