More about this rule

The rule in plain language

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.

What to keep in mind

An overnight stay does not override meters, posted time limits, resident-only zones, temporary restrictions, or rules for oversized and commercial vehicles. Move the vehicle before it has remained continuously for 24 hours.
