HB 5563 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the overnight parking of a commercial motor vehicle in or near certain residential subdivisions.

HB 5563 amends Texas law to define "residential subdivisions" that would be subject to restrictions on overnight parking of commercial vehicles (like trucks). It specifies these subdivisions must be in counties with over 220,000 residents, or small counties adjacent to three large counties, have recorded plats, and feature deed restrictions limiting lots to residential use. The bill directly affects commercial vehicle drivers and owners who might park overnight near such neighborhoods. This change provides a clear legal definition for future regulations on overnight parking, but does not itself create new parking rules. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
