Travis County has no general on-street parking ordinance for unincorporated county roads. Texas Transportation Code §545.301-545.305 governs where stopping, standing, and parking are prohibited statewide — within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 20 feet of a crosswalk, 30 feet of a stop sign. Subdivisions may impose stricter HOA rules.
County roads in unincorporated Travis County generally allow roadside parking unless posted otherwise. Lake Travis area roads (RM 620, RM 2222) have posted no-parking zones near marinas and parks. Violation enforcement is by Travis County Sheriff or TxDOT for state highways. HOAs commonly prohibit overnight street parking in private subdivisions.
TX Transportation Code parking violations: $200 maximum fine per §542.401. HOA fines vary by CCRs, typically $25-100 per violation.
