One thing you have to look out for are the laws in each state or certain cities like Houston or Dallas, because in some areas, sleeping in your vehicle is actually ILLEGAL.

Now when it comes to folks who just drive regular cars and don't have a CDL, the rules are of course different but the same thing applies in terms of the LAW of the state you're in.

Is There A Law In Texas That Makes It Illegal To Sleep In Your Car?

I'm not even going to hold you for suspense: The answer is NO. It's perfectly LEGAL for you to sleep in your car in Texas. BUT there are certain conditions where sleeping in your car could land you in trouble in the Lone Star state so you might want to pay attention to these so you don't get in trouble.

You Could Be Charged With Drunk Driving...

You shouldn't be drinking and driving anyway but let's just say you HAPPEN to take a nap and a cop pulls up to check on you? If you're found drunk even in a parked car sleeping you could still get hit with a drunk driving charge just so you know. Its best to Uber it or walk it off.

Certain Parking Lots Are A No-Go Too...

Let's say you wanted to take a nap in your car after doing some shopping at the local Wal-Mart? Guess what: It's ILLEGAL. Store parking lots are private property and the store owner can press charges on you for trespassing on private property but in most cases, you would think they would leave you alone, but its best to move somewhere else instead of risking it.
