Parking

The Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas is located at 1600 Bobby K. Marks Dr. (formerly Avenue H), Huntsville, Texas, at the corner of Bobby K. Marks and Bearkat Boulevard (formerly 16th Street) on the campus of Sam Houston State University. It also is located right next door to the University Hotel.

  • Effective August 24, 2016, SHSU implemented new parking requirements on campus and has changed the flow of traffic in some areas. Please note that both streets alongside LEMIT (Bobby K. Marks and 16th Street) are now one-way streets. LEMIT participants, visitors, and University Hotel guests, including marked or unmarked law enforcement vehicles, are required to register and pay for parking through an online system. Registration is required to park on campus 24/7 and parking is enforced via a License Plate Recognition (LPR) system; therefore, you will not receive a physical parking tag/permit. Registering your vehicle for parking will allow you to park in the parking lots across the street from LEMIT (Zone 2 parking lots). Approximately 30 days out from the date of the program, you will receive additional information regarding how to register/pay for parking, and a map of available parking lots to park in.
  • For visitors and guests, there are pay-by-hour spaces along Bobby K. Marks Street and Bearkat Boulevard; however, these are managed through the City of Huntsville system and are not part of the University Zone 2 permits. Follow instructions listed on street signs for payment options and be sure to select "Huntsville" when asked to select a location. For more information on the City of Huntsville system, visit Huntsville Paid Parking.
  • Parking is also available for visitors in the Sam Houston Parking Garage, located at 1730 Avenue I, within walking distance to LEMIT. The parking garage contains approximately 250 hourly use parking spaces. Visitors should not park in the parking spaces that are numbered; the numbered spaces are reserved for Garage Permit Holders only. For directions to the SHSU Parking Garage, please click here.
