William P. Hobby Jr. Building

I have tried to park here 2 times already and nobody is ever there at the parking garage. so i didnt want to to park and risk my car getting towed because nobody was there to show my badge to.
has anyone else had this problem?

What she said is true. I interned at the Capitol this semester and got a state ID. Now I never pay for parking when I’m going to 6^th. :D

I can park here for free! If you work for the state of Texas, you can park here free, too, even on a Friday or Saturday night. All you have to do is show your badge, and they let you right in. Though it’s not free for them, all other people can park here, too.
The good:
~ This garage is located between 3^rd and 4^th, Lavaca and Guadalupe, so it’s close to lots of bars and restaurants.
~ Qua is very close by.
~ No bums have accosted me here, which is appreciated.
~ It’s underground, so I feel like my car is safer than in a ground lot.
~ Even if you don’t have state ID, it’s only $ 5, which is cheaper than many other lots.
~ The attendant said I was pretty and offered to wash my windshield.
The bad:
~ It’s tough to see the parking spaces (lines need to be repainted)
~ The garage is a confusing labyrinth, so navigating it is often counter-​intuitive and once I thought I saw David Bowie.
~ It’s a long walk to things at the east end of 6^th street from here.
~ Qua is very close by.
~ You exit onto a one-​way street, and you might not always want to go that way. But you have to. Don’t try not to or police will intervene. I saw it happen.
In case you want to find this place, I recommend entering from Guadalupe (just go down the ramp on your left immediately after you cross 4^th street), but there may be multiple entrances. When you’re coming back to your car, you can find the stairs at the southwest corner of 4^th and Lavaca. Some of the other entrances get locked, but this one doesn’t.
