Types of Temporary Permits

University Guests

University guest parking is available at the LBJ Student Center or Edward Gary Street parking garages for a fee.  On occasions when parking is needed at a building that is not close to one of the garages, departments can work with Parking Services to consider other accommodations.  

Hosts of official university guests should request permits through the Parking Services Departmental Portal at least 48 hours in advance.  When a guest is issued a citation for “No Permit” because the department neglected to purchase their permit and the department or visitor seeks assistance to dismiss the citation, the department will be assessed a fee for the dismissal. 

• Vehicles may not display a University Guest permit if outstanding fines are assigned to that vehicle.

Visitor

Visitor parking is available at the LBJ Student Center or Edward Gary Street parking garages for a fee, or in officially designated visitor spaces.  Dedicated visitor spaces do not require a fee to park; however, a temporary visitor permit must be displayed on vehicles parked in these spaces.

From 5 p.m. Fridays through 7 p.m. Sundays, Parking Services does not enforce “No Permit” violations on Visitor/Guest vehicles.

1. • • When departments elect to pay for their visitors and guests so they can park close to their building because a pay garage is not convenient and there is no designated visitor parking space nearby, they may order a visitor permit online at txstate.aimsparking.com (login required).  Account number information must be provided, and departments will be charged $5 per permit requested.

     • Parents may get a visitor pass from the Parking Services office during regular business hours Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.

     • Students, faculty, and staff may never display a Visitor/Guest permit.

One Day Temporary

Loading Zone

A Loading Zone permit is valid for 20 minutes while parked in designated loading zone areas for the purpose of loading or unloading heavy or bulky items.  Once the items are unloaded, the vehicle should be promptly moved to allow others to access to the area.  Loading Zone permits may be obtained from the Parking Services office. 

30-Minute 

30-minute permits are for use by individuals who must conduct short-term business at J.C. Kellam.  The time-stamped permit must be obtained at the J.C. Kellam Parking Services booth and exempts the vehicle from parking zone restrictions for 30 minutes.  The time is strictly enforced, and the permit should not be obtained unless the business can be conducted in less than 30 minutes.  A 30-minute permit does not allow the use of reserved spaces.

Service/Delivery

Service/Delivery permits at for individuals required to perform job duties throughout campus.  The S/D permit is valid for two hours in labeled S/D spaces, 20 minutes in signed loading zones, and exempts the vehicle from parking zone restrictions. Using the S/D permit for any reason other than its intended purpose could result in having the vehicle impounded and the permit confiscated.  University departments may request one yearly S/D permit, unless otherwise approved by TSAC.  Information about yearly S/D permits is available at Parking Services.

• S/D permits do not allow parking in reserved, accessible, or visitor spaces.

• S/D permits do not allow parking on yellow lines or curbs, areas not marked for parking, or in fire/emergency zones.
