Rowlett, TX Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

On-street parking in Rowlett is controlled by the city's Code of Ordinances (Chapter 66, Traffic and Vehicles) together with Texas state law. Under the Texas Transportation Code, which applies in every Texas city including Rowlett, Section 545.302 prohibits stopping, standing or parking on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at the curb (double parking), or where an official sign prohibits it. The same statute bars standing or parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within 30 feet of a stop sign, yield sign or traffic-control signal, and within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing. Texas Transportation Code Section 542.202 gives municipalities like Rowlett the power to regulate stopping, standing and parking by local ordinance and traffic-control devices (signs and pavement markings), so additional Rowlett-specific restrictions are established by posted signage rather than a single blanket time limit. Because the full text of Rowlett's Chapter 66 is published through the Municode portal rather than a freely fetchable page, drivers should treat all posted 'No Parking,' time-limit and tow-away signs as enforceable. Violations are enforced by the Rowlett Police Department.
