Permits are not valid if the permit is not displayed, if the license plate is not visible from the nearest driving lane, or if the license plate or vehicle was registered incorrectly.
License plates must be displayed in a manner that complies with all applicable laws and codes.

Anyone who wishes to park a vehicle at any Texas State University campus lot must have a valid parking permit affixed to their vehicle or a virtual permit attached to the displayed license plate. With the exception of the LBJ Student Center and Edward Gary Street Garages, visitors, and vehicles displaying a Pay-and-Display or Pay-by-App temporary permit.
Hanging tags may be used only with Red Zone and Reserved physical permits. Other physical permits must use the self-adhering decal.
Hanging permits must be hung from the rear-view mirror and be easily seen below the window tint with the numbers facing forward.
If the position of the rear-view mirror or the length of tint makes this difficult, inform Parking Services so they can provide an extended length hanging tag.
Self-adhering permits must be completely affixed as described on the peel tab of the decal and placed entirely outside of any window tint. They cannot be taped, glued, laminated, or affixed in any other manner and cannot be transferred to any other vehicle.
Pay-and-display permits must be placed printed side facing up on the vehicle dashboard and be clearly visible.
Anyone found displaying a lost, stolen, or forged permit could lose their parking privileges for one calendar year.
