Here's the Denton law. You're not allowed to park an RV in a residential area:

Sec. 18-92.1. - Parking nuisances.
(a) It shall be unlawful for a person to park or store or allow another to park or store a recreational vehicle, travel trailer, boat or boat trailer, tow truck, truck, truck-tractor, pull trailer, semi-trailer or any vehicle other than a passenger car on any public right-of-way in any residential zoned district.

Azdryheat was nice enough to quote the statue, but there may be a hole in it. One needs to get into the city and state codes to find out if there is a legal definition of "Recreational Vehicle". My coach is on a passenger car registration. This is true of many states. Then it is up to them to prove it is not.

Spending a day in court, with a fifty fifty chance of winning at best, where the judge would have the ability to raise the fine, sure isn't worth fifty bucks to me. And if you don't pay the fine, you might get to cool your heels in the local jail, while your rig is towed to the impound lot, while they sort out your failure to appear warrant.
You could pay a good attorney a whole lot of money and improve that 50/50 chance, but that is a pretty high cost for defending a "principle" you really don't even hold because you yourself said you actually have "a coach with a passenger car registration". The OP should accept the fact that they violated the city ordinance and pay the fine.
