Relating to the civil prosecution of offenses involving certain municipal parking ordinances; authorizing a civil fine.

HB 3063 allows Texas municipalities with populations of 1.9 million or more (like Houston) to treat violations of parking rules on single-family residential property (e.g., front/side yards in residential areas) as civil offenses instead of criminal violations. It authorizes cities to impose civil fines through administrative hearings for these specific parking violations, rather than using criminal penalties. The bill applies only to residential parking offenses in large cities and does not affect parking enforcement in public areas or smaller municipalities. It takes effect September 1, 2025. This changes enforcement from criminal to civil penalties for a narrow category of residential parking violations.
