No county ordinance restricts oversized vehicles (buses, large RVs, trailers) at a residence in unincorporated Cameron County — that's a city zoning matter. The county's rules apply in its beach parks and to abandoned oversized vehicles under state law.
Because Texas counties can't zone, unincorporated Cameron County imposes no size or weight limit on vehicles parked at a home; cities set those. In the county's coastal parks, oversized vehicles are managed by fee and space rules: buses pay a $30 per-vehicle entrance fee, and each RV site allows one RV plus two vehicles with only two motor-vehicle passes. An oversized vehicle left abandoned on a public road is handled under Transportation Code Ch. 683, not a size ordinance.
In county parks, oversized vehicles encroaching on other spaces are towed at the owner's expense; abandoned oversized vehicles are impounded under Transportation Code Ch. 683.
