I can't find where the United States Constitution gives the Federal Government power to regulate parking spaces. Can anybody help?

It doesn't... However Texas has the "Texas Accessibility Standards" or TAS that mirrors the ADA at the state level, and very much within our constitutional authority to do so.

FYI - Street view shows it parked there on what appears to be after school or during the summer. Might have been there during class and this is just late in the day, but this screams of entitlement...

AFAIK, there is not a time when parking in or blocking handicapped spots is legal like for certain parking areas along some streets. So, I don't think the time of day or whether school is in session or not matters, but I could be wrong.

Correct- I was pointing out that she may not have chosen to park there while there is a legal space open two spots away... Or she (he?) might have.

Either way, it just screams of entitlement. Especially if the SRO asked you to not park there on several occasions, and you do it anyway. None of us would have gotten that verbal warning courtesy.
