New Braunfels, TX Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

' It sits in Division 2, Prohibited Parking, of chapter 126's parking article, immediately after § 126-346's long list of specific stopping, standing and tow-away restrictions, but unlike that section, § 126-347 isn't tied to a particular street; it applies wherever chapter 126's definition of 'business district' is met. Section 126-1 defines that term as 'the territory contiguous to and including a highway when within any 600 feet along such highway there are buildings in use for business or industrial purposes, including but not limited to hotels, banks, or office buildings, railroad stations and public buildings, which occupy at least 300 feet of frontage on one side or 300 feet collectively on both sides of the highway,' which in practice sweeps in the commercial core around Seguin Avenue, San Antonio Street and downtown Main Plaza as well as any other qualifying commercial corridor citywide.

The section traces to § 23-128 of the 1961 Code and has not been substantively amended since, unlike neighboring § 126-346, which has been amended more than 140 times to add specific named tow-away zones. 00 for a Code violation with no specific penalty listed, with subsection (b) making each day a violation continues a separate offense. Because the rule doesn't reference towing, unlike many of the zone-specific bans in § 126-346, a vehicle parked overnight in the business district is more likely to draw a citation than an immediate tow.
