Travis County has no overnight parking ban on unincorporated county roads. Texas law sets no statewide overnight limit. County park facilities including Pace Bend, Hippie Hollow, and Milton Reimers Ranch have posted hours and do not allow overnight parking except in designated camping areas.
County Parks Ordinance under Chapter 80 closes parks from 10 PM to 7 AM unless a camping permit is held. Lake Travis area marinas and boat ramps managed by LCRA have separate rules. HOAs in lake-area subdivisions frequently prohibit overnight street parking to keep emergency access clear — Fire Marshal supports these rules under Austin-Travis County ESD requirements.
County park overnight without permit: $200 fine plus vehicle tow. HOA fines typically $25-100. No county-wide residential overnight ban.
