Important Information
All vehicles parked on campus must display a valid parking permit. Permits are enforced 24/7, year-round. It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to be familiar with and abide by all campus parking regulations. Failure to do so may result in fines, booting or towing.
Changes to Disabled Veteran License Plates
SB792 requires Texas with disabled veteran license plates who park in an accessible parking space must have a plate or a placard that features the Internation Symbol of Access (ISA).
New Simplified Parking Permits Coming for 2026–2027!
Texas State University is introducing a streamlined, campus-wide parking permit framework for the upcoming academic year. We have replaced the old, multi-colored system with simplified "Permit Groups" designed to offer clearer choices, greater flexibility, and better options to fit your budget.
Permits will go on sale in the following phases:
- June 29: Residential permit sales launch (limited to residents within their designated zones).
- July 21: Residential permit availability expands to residents in other campus neighborhoods.
- August 4: Remaining residential permits open to faculty, staff, commuters, and other groups.
Keep an eye on your Bobcat email for the official announcement and instructions on how to purchase your permit.
