Rowlett, TX Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

No verifiable citywide ordinance prohibiting all overnight on-street parking for ordinary passenger vehicles was located in Rowlett's published materials; the city's own 'Common Code Violations' guide focuses on residential storage of RVs, junk vehicles and required parking surfaces rather than a blanket overnight ban. The most concrete overnight restriction that applies in Rowlett comes from state law. Texas Transportation Code Section 545.307 makes it unlawful, after 10 p.m. and before 6 a.m., to park a commercial motor vehicle on a county- or municipality-maintained street within or adjacent to a residential subdivision where signs are posted. A 'commercial motor vehicle' includes road tractors, truck tractors, pole trailers and semitrailers. The signs must be requested by petition (25 percent of affected owners or tenants), placed at each subdivision entrance, and read that overnight parking of a commercial motor vehicle is prohibited in letters at least two inches high. Exceptions exist when the vehicle is actively delivering or picking up persons or property, performing work in the subdivision for only as long as needed, owned by a utility with an employee on 24-hour call, or parked adjacent to its own commercial establishment. Rowlett may also enforce posted time-limit or tow-away signs under Chapter 66 of its code and Texas Transportation Code Sec. 542.202. Always check for posted signage on your block.
