Texas State University students are back for the fall semester, but many are having trouble finding parking around campus. Eric Jeffers has more in this Bobcat Update.
Road closures and campus construction are pretty common at Texas State, causing many commuters to scramble for parking spaces. Some students have shown up late for class because they couldn't find parking, and others -- to avoid that fate -- have resorted to parking in restricted zones.

The university opened the Matthews Street Parking Garage this semester, located next to the new parking services building. University officials hope the garage will alleviate congestion on campus and offer more convenience to commuters.
Students are encouraged to find alternatives to parking in the central campus area. For example, they can ride a bike, carpool or use the shuttle to get around.

Parking services wants to remind students that they do need a sticker to park on campus and they should park in their designated zones to avoid parking tickets
