I live in TX. Years ago my sister got a ticket for parking right across the street from a neighbors driveway. Is it illegal? I wouldn't like someone parking there either. Then you run a bigger risk of hitting the car behind you.

No thats is not legal.
Anytime you block a driveway or any roadway your in violation of the "right of way" of other drivers.
(even if its YOUR driveway) I know,.....that sucks,...I agree but thats the law,.......it protects you from someone you don't know blocking your driveway and stuff like that as well.

No it's not illegal to park across from a driveway. What IS illegal is parking within 15 feet of a hydrant or intersection, Parking by a painted curb AND (this is probably what your sister was ticketed for) parking the wrong direction, you gotta park facing the flow of traffic.

It's been years since I've seen a driver's manual. but I do recall something in there about a minimum distance from a driveway. It may have been 6ft but the detail I can't remember. It is inconsiderate at best. So try and not do it.
