Parking on campus is a challenge. Commuters have reason to be anxious every time they drive to Texas State, because it's very hard to find a place to park. Erin Cantu has more in this Bobcat Update.


Students purchase their passes from the university's Parking Services division. Parking Services is not lenient when it comes to parking outside of the designated zones. Some students feel pretty desperate when they try to find parking. They may circle the parking lots for 20 to 40 minutes to find an open space, and at times they'll resort to parking illegally. One student had to deal with this when the car next to hers parked too close.

Commuters have three parking lots to choose from that are close to campus, and these lots are also open to red restricted permits, which means faculty can park there as well. This can cause confusion, especially when commuters have to vacate the lot at certain times. When students park where they're not supposed to be, they'll be fined if caught.

Texas State is not planning to create a new commuter lot, so the struggle will continue for the foreseeable future. And remember: Permits are a necessity if you're going to park on campus. For Bobcat Update, I'm Erin Cantu.
