*Regular full-time and part-time faculty and staff members with an annual full-time equivalent (FTE) salary of $37,000 or less are eligible for the reduced Employee permit fee. Eligibility is determined by the FTE salary calculated based on a 100% full-time schedule, regardless of actual appointment percentage. The reduced rate is automatically applied to eligible accounts. If you believe you qualify but do not see the rate reflected, please contact Human Resources.
All faculty and staff are required to register any vehicle they drive and park on campus and purchase the appropriate color parking permit.
Please note that parking permits are required at all times, and regulations are enforced every day of the year.
Texas State parking enforcement operates entirely with advanced digital systems. Your license plate is your parking permit. There are no physical sticker tags or plastic dashboard hangers.
No Physical Tags Needed
No more waiting in long lines to pick up stickers or worrying about them falling off your rearview mirror.
Must Register Plates Correctly
Because registration and scanning are digital, verifying your license plate is entered 100% correctly at time of purchase is strictly critical.
Real-Time Database Scan
Enforcement vehicles utilize mounted camera rigs to scan plates and match active databases in real-time based on your selected zones.
Employees with an annual permit who leave the university, either through separation or retirement need to notify Parking Services.
Before purchasing a parking permit, departments must submit an employee verification form for all Non-Student/Non-Regular Staff (NSNR), Employment Agency hires, Non-TXST Interns, and Volunteers.
Duration: Verifications can be approved by weeks, months, a semester, or the full academic year, but cannot extend beyond the current academic year.
Renewals: If an employee is retained past their approved end date, or if their appointment is ongoing, a new verification form must be submitted at the start of each academic year.
Service/Delivery (S/D) permits are available to departments with employees who perform job duties throughout campus.
The S/D permit is valid for two hours in signed S/D spaces and exempts the vehicle from parking zone restrictions in other legally marked spaces. S/D permits do not allow parking in reserved, accessible or visitor spaces, on yellow lines or curbs, areas not marked for parking, or in fire/emergency zones.
Loading Dock S/D permit (virtual) allows for marked contractor or delivery vehicles to park in a loading dock for two hours. Unmarked company vehicles or personal vehicles may park in the loading dock for one hour. (Only available to departments located in a building that has a loading dock).
University departments may request one yearly S/D permit, unless otherwise approved by the TSAC.
