A co-owner of a shared driveway cannot claim more rights in the driveway for themselves by blocking access to the other owner. They would have no defense if the other party were to sue and could be liable for any resulting damages and legal costs. Your neighbor's behavior is unreasonable and irresponsible. You should consult with an attorney.

Does neighbor have right to park at end of shared driveway in Harris county Texas?
No, assuming that it is, in fact, a shared driveway (see your deeds), neither neighbor has the right to obstruct the right of way. You can only park within your property lines; you cannot park so as to lie within the other neighbor's property. I had the same issue with my property, but later found out the driveway wasn't actually shared (it belonged to me!).

Who is responsible when backing out of your own private driveway and hit a car parked in front of and obstructing the driveway?
It is the person who is blocking the private driveway's fault because they should have known not to park in front of a private driveway in the first place. However, if the private driveway is not marked with a sign of some sort to let people know that it is private, it may be the driveway owner's fault.
My neighbor and i both have a 8' easement driveway on each of our properties in san Luis obispo county ca i have been told by local pd that i cant park on my side of the driveway is this right?

I would think not, if your driveway is private property. Take pictures of the car and complain to the police.

Can you have your neighbor's car towed away if she parks in your driveway?
In practice this is very difficult to do anything about. I know because it happened to me. The police weren't interested unless any damage was done to the property, and the council weren't interested unless the pavement was being blocked. Similarly, I am a lawyer and my litigation colleagues said there was pretty much nothing I could do about it except stick a sticker in the window asking them not to park there.Another PerspectiveIt must depend on your jurisdiction. If a car blocks your driveway, preventing you from accessing it, the car can and will be towed by the local police and a citation will be issued. Most municipalities in the United States have town and city ordinances regarding how close a driver can park to a driveway. For example, there is a five foot limit locally. The police are happy to oblige when a property owner complains. If the car is parked on private property it certainly can be towed. If you are the owner of property no one else has the right to park their car in your driveway unless you have given them permission.
