Unincorporated Hidalgo County does not designate loading zones on public roads, a power that belongs to cities rather than Texas counties.
Designating and enforcing curbside loading zones is a municipal traffic-engineering function that Texas counties generally lack the authority to perform, so no countywide Hidalgo ordinance creates or regulates loading zones. On unincorporated county roads, the statewide stopping rules in Texas Transportation Code Chapter 545 apply instead, including the general prohibitions in Section 545.302 against stopping in an intersection, on a crosswalk, or on the roadway side of a parked vehicle. Businesses inside McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, or Weslaco follow that city's loading-zone ordinance and signage.
No county loading-zone citation; obstructive stopping on a county road is enforced as a state traffic offense under Section 545.302.
