Unless something changes at a later date, no. I was told I can still park it in my driveway.

I am definitly willing to defend this victory. Thank you for the input on watching the council agenda. That is one thing that did not cross my mind. The actions by code enforcement were due to a complaint. I know this as the officer told me so. The only thing is it was an anonymous...

So here is the outcome from the code compliance officer who was kind enough to help me with this issue. Due to the fact that I was able to provide a copy of the registration showing that it is registered as an antique vehicle and not a commercial vehicle and I did provide them with the sections...

Code enforcement picked up all the paperwork I had for them this morning. As soon as I hear something back from them I will post the results.

I have a fenced in back yard so I can look at putting it there if it fits between my side fence and house. If not, I will have to look at building a new fence on the other side of my house. It is definitely wide enough there, just no gate to drive through. I plan on talking to the enforcement...

So I will find out more in the next couple of days, but doing some research I may have just found the loop hole for those of us in Texas with the problem of parking out 5 Tons at our homes. The following comes from the Texas Statutes... TRANSPORTATION CODE TITLE 7. VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC...

If I knew how I would definitly do it.

Data plate shows 22,150 pounds empty. Then add the weight for carrying capacity. Mine is registered with a gross weight of 32,000 pounds. Im sure they probably would. **** if it's a slow day they may do it just to check out your truck.

The type of trash truck that goes through this area is definitely heavier. Where I work we have a DOT certified and calibrated scale and the only way in and out is through the scale. When they come through they typically weight 42,000 pounds or a little more. When I registered my 5 ton the...

I'm sure you are right. I think I know who it was due to the speed at which code enforcement showed up. The truck wasn't at the house any this past Friday which is when I got the truck, Saturday and Sunday Code Enforcement isn't open and Monday was a holiday so they weren't open then either...

Me too. It is very annoying and very stupid. Some people just have nothing better to do than complain about others though. That's what started this whole mess for me.

There is an exemption in the city of El Paso for RV's. There is a way around my problem with my truck, but I would have to swap out the bed for an expansable van, put in a bed and bathroom and reregister it as an RV. Then regardless of weight I could have it in my driveway. I don't...

Hopefully it will all work out. If I had enough room at the house I would just build a garage big enough and park it in there that way it isn't seen and problem would be solved. Since I don't have that option though I will do my best to work it through the code enforcement office and if...

Thanks to the replies on another thread (before I started this one) and some advice as to how to proceed.

So this thread may be a duplicate from before but it is to hopefully help others with a similar situation in the future. Regardless of outcome I will keep this thread updated and let everyone know what happens. So this morning I woke up to a code violation notice on my front door...
