Yes, you may leave a legally parked vehicle overnight in Austin; the city says it will not tow a legally parked vehicle merely for being left overnight.
Austin's parking guidance expressly says legally parked vehicles are not towed simply because they remain overnight. The vehicle still has to comply with meters, posted signs, permit zones, temporary restrictions, and ordinary parking laws.
Yes, you may park overnight where parking is otherwise legal, but Dallas may tow a vehicle left on the street for more than 24 hours.
Dallas says a vehicle parked on a street longer than 24 hours is subject to towing and impoundment. A vehicle can also be towed sooner for a traffic-safety hazard, unpaid-parking boot, or another parking violation.
