El Paso County has no ordinance restricting oversized-vehicle parking in unincorporated areas. Size and weight limits and where large vehicles may stop come from the Texas Transportation Code; within cities, local codes may add restrictions.
Texas counties do not have general power to regulate parking of oversized vehicles such as large RVs, buses, or heavy trucks on public streets, so El Paso County has no oversized-vehicle parking ordinance for its unincorporated area. Statewide, vehicle size and weight limits are set by the Texas Transportation Code (Chapter 621 and related provisions), and oversize or overweight movement requires a TxDMV permit; these are enforced by Texas DPS. Where any vehicle may stop, stand, or park on a public road is governed by Section 545.302. Inside cities, municipal ordinances may prohibit parking oversized vehicles on residential streets. Absent a city ordinance, only the state stopping/standing rules apply in the unincorporated county.
Oversize or overweight movement without a required TxDMV permit, and stopping/standing violations under Section 545.302, are enforced by Texas DPS and the Sheriff's Office as state offenses. Within a city, oversized-vehicle parking is handled under that municipality's code.
