When parking headed downhill in Texas, it is best to turn your front wheels toward the curb. This way, if the vehicle rolls, it will roll into the curb and not into the street. Additionally, always engage the parking brake to ensure the vehicle remains stationary.

The handbrake is used to stop a stationary car rolling downhill. The transmission can also stop a car from moving when parked.
When parking headed downhill, turn your front wheels toward the curb. This way, if the vehicle rolls, it will roll into the curb and stop rather than into traffic. Additionally, always engage the parking brake to ensure the vehicle remains secure. Finally, shift the transmission into park (for automatic) or into first gear (for manual) to further prevent rolling.
yes
In a downhill area, you should always park with the front wheels toward the curb. The theory is that if the brakes malfunction, the car will move towards the curb and stop, instead of going downhill, gathering speed and causing an accident.
If leaving a vehicle parked on a hill, I would engage the parking brake and shift the transmission into the appropriate gear: in a manual, I would leave it in first gear when facing uphill and reverse when facing downhill; in an automatic, I would put it in "Park." If there's a curb, I would turn the front wheels away from the curb when parked uphill and toward the curb when parked downhill to provide additional security against rolling. This combination helps ensure the vehicle remains stationary and safe.
