Question:

How close to a fire hydrant can I legally park in Texas?

I have tried calling the local DPS office but was put on terminal hold. I'm asking for 2 reasons:1) I have a fire hydrant right outside my house (the only hydrant on my street) and if I have visitors they have nowhere else to park-my drive only accomodates 2 vehicles.2) My office is at a 4 way intersection with stop signs AND a fire hydrant. I know there is a law stating the distance you must be from a hydrant but I can't find it, some of my customers have been given tickets for parking near the hydrant (the stop sign at the intersection wasn't mentioned in the citation) and some customers have never even been approached or cautioned by a Police Officer. I really need to know so that I can post a notice in my office warning customers to park elsewhere-we have a car park but it's easier for customers (the lazy ones) to park at the curb and run in.

Answer:

yes, its ok unless your friend has the pink eye or some other infection of the eye.
There's a very romantic spot on the bluff above Big Corona in Corone del Mar (just down Pacific Coast Highway from Newport Beach). There are also lots of fire pits and it's a good place for swimming. See the aerial photos:
