El Paso County does not regulate overnight parking on public streets, but its Commissioners Court order prohibits parking or remaining on County-owned property after regular business hours unless specifically authorized, and violators may be towed and charged with criminal trespass.
There is no El Paso County ordinance imposing an overnight parking ban on public streets, because Texas counties cannot regulate general on-street parking in unincorporated areas. The County does control after-hours use of its own property. The Commissioners Court order 'Use or Occupancy of County Property and Utilities Rules' (adopted 01/15/2019) reserves County-owned property for persons conducting County business during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on business days) and prohibits anyone from remaining after regular business hours on County property without specific authorization. This effectively bars overnight parking in County lots. On a public street, overnight parking is a matter of the Texas Transportation Code and any applicable city code.
A person remaining on County property after hours must leave upon direction by a County representative; refusal may result in towing of vehicles at the owner's expense and prosecution for Criminal Trespass. Street enforcement is a city or state matter.
