Texas counties cannot zone, so unincorporated Bell County sets no RV/boat parking rule. Inside Killeen it is unlawful to leave a boat or travel trailer standing on a public street or encroaching on a right-of-way.
Bell County (seat Belton; cities Killeen, Temple, Harker Heights) has no zoning authority, so it cannot regulate where residents keep RVs or boats on private land in unincorporated areas. Rules come from each city. Killeen Code § 28-134 bars leaving a boat or travel trailer standing on any public street or where it encroaches on a sidewalk or right-of-way, and § 28-135 requires parking on an all-weather (concrete or bituminous) surface. Temple applies similar off-street parking standards through its Unified Development Code. Check your specific city; Fort Cavazos land is federal, not county-regulated.
Killeen violations are prosecuted under the city general penalty (Code § 1-8); vehicles encroaching on streets may be cited and towed at the owner's expense.
