I don't know about a ticket but they can tow and store the vehicle at the owner's expense. So I'm inclined to believe that yes they can give you a ticket. I found the answer at- http://www.sll.state.tx.us/research/texaslaw.asp http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/cqcgi And here's the jargon. LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE SUBTITLE B. COUNTY PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION PROVISIONS CHAPTER 445. MISCELLANEOUS PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION PROVISIONS AFFECTING COUNTIES SUBCHAPTER A. PARKING (3) prohibit the parking of vehicles in certain areas. (c) If a county restricts or prohibits parking in a place, it shall erect an appropriately worded sign at the place to inform a driver of a vehicle of the restriction or prohibition. The county is not required to erect a sign to indicate that parking is prohibited on a lawn or other area that does not appear to be a place intended for use as a parking area. (d) A county may provide for towing and storing a vehicle at the owner's expense if it is parked in violation of a rule adopted under this section. The county may not provide for towing a vehicle that is parked under circumstances that create a defense to prosecution under Subsection

The cited code applies to public/county owned land. You can't park on the county courthouse lawn, but you can park on your privately owned lawn unless your city has ordinances banning the practice.

It depends on your city ordinances.

You can in my town in Kansas. They don't like the way it looks when you park on your lawn. Front lawn anyway, parking in the backyard is okay.

Yes , I agree with the other posts . It depends on your city ordinance . We have a boat that we "use" to park on the side of our house . And we got a warning htat it had to be behind the house . Or behind our fence line . NRH , Texas .

I don't know; but, you cannot pee on your own lawn in Louisiana. lol I just thought you might want to know that interesting piece of info.
