Cameron County itself sets no general on-street parking rules. Texas counties can't zone or regulate parking on city streets, and on unincorporated roads the county mainly acts through the abandoned/junked-vehicle laws, not parking meters or time limits.
On-street parking (time limits, meters, permit zones, no-parking signs) is a city function. Inside Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito, Port Isabel and South Padre Island, those cities' traffic ordinances govern. Unincorporated Cameron County has no zoning and no general street-parking code; the county's real tool for a vehicle left too long on a public road is Texas Transportation Code Chapter 683 (abandoned motor vehicles) and Health & Safety Code Chapter 343 nuisance abatement, enforced by the Sheriff, not parking tickets.
A vehicle left on a public road can be treated as abandoned under Transportation Code Ch. 683 and taken into custody by law enforcement, then sold if unclaimed after statutory notice.
