Texas · Licensing & Administrative Rules
A disabled-parking placard or license plate in Texas allows what?
- Parking only in spaces designated for persons with disabilities, with the placard displayed
- Parking in fire lanes
- Free parking at any meter
- Parking anywhere
Correct answer
Parking only in spaces designated for persons with disabilities, with the placard displayed
Why this is correct
A Texas disabled-parking placard or license plate permits parking in spaces reserved for persons with disabilities, provided the placard is displayed. Fraudulent use or letting someone else use your placard is illegal and fines start at $500. A placard does not waive rules on fire lanes, blocked driveways, or paid-meter zones (unless a local ordinance specifically allows).
