    That TA is paid parking and it has armed hotheads so beware. I have never stayed at that TA but truckerpath reviews says beggars do exist there.

    OP if you’re ever coming into town westbound on the 20, the TA in Terrell has tons of parking. Even past midnight, you’re guaranteed to find a spot, without any of the riffraff of the Dallas truck stops.

    I second that.
    Stay there all the time and never had any problems. Clean inside the TS and fuel is cheap with the NASTC card.

    I was there Wednesday night and left around 2 am.. lots of spots were available. Lot is a bit rough though..

    I almost never spend the night in a truck stop anyway. There are good rest areas within an hour of DFW in every direction, and a number of places closer in where you can safely and legally park.
