Yeah, back in the 90s, we called the the parking gestapo.

That does have a nice jack-booted thug ring to it.

I've had cars towed out of my spot more times than I can recall. People just never learn...

I've been through the appeals process thrice ... one was dismissed due to their error ... the other two were reduced to the minimum $5 parking garage fee and I did not complain.

Tickets in mostly empty parking lots is certainly a rub. In those circumstances they should give a warning ... strike 1!

Here I am.

My wife parked at Kyle and walked into the Hall of Champions to find me and our kids. Yes she was in the wrong. She parked in a reserved spot in a lot that was 3/4 empty. I could understand if the lot was full... But it wasn't.

The kicker is... somehow it's MY fault.

---

If the person that used that spot showed up, it wouldn't matter if the lot was empty or full....the spot that they paid for was full.

You're actually lucky that it didn't get towed. In the past, the person that paid for the spot had to report the violation for a car to get towed. Now, it can be an automatic tow just for being in a reserved spot.

Faculty and staff pay for numbered spaces on campus and it's not cheap.

No, it isn't. To be blunt, if I had a reserved spot and someone parked in it, they would come back to my vehicle being in my spot and theirs on the back of a tow truck.

Simmer down... the spot was outside of Kyle, between the field and Welborn. So the is a of it being a faculty spot are slim.

Now, so far as it being "your fault" that your wife had to park and go looking for you? Were you supposed to be outside when she pulled into the lot?

I had taken my 3 older children on a tour of Kyle, my wife for bored and brought my 4yr old early and was wondering around looking for us.

My wife just got a parking ticket. We are from out of state and will probably never have to park on campus again.

My question is, do we have to pay the fine. And if we don't pay, what are the repercussions?

---

Why are you are asking this question on TexAgs?? You should contact TAMU and ask them that question. It's really not that difficult. Just pay the fine.

Stating a fact means a person has to "simmer down".


That's funny.

There are plenty of staff offices in Kyle. Everyone pays the same amount for numbered reserved parking. I hope you're not implying that if it were a faculty spot you'd be more in err than if it were staff or student.

he says as his vehicle is towed away for too many citations.....

If you have children here, they will add it to their student bill and not allow them to register until paid.

This.

Fall my freshman year, I was trying to register for Spring classes and was blocked. After finding the right person/department to ask why, I was told there were unpaid parking tickets from years before I even set foot on campus and I would have to settle that before I could register.

Turns out, it was my brother (who was a senior at the time). They tracked his license plate to my parents address and my name was the first that popped up so they dumped them on my name. I told my brother to get his ass over to the parking office and pay his damn tickets so I could register.

only people who are unable to comprehend the complexity of trying to park 60K people call them nazis. Do you call the police nazis too?

I was in New Orleans on business and the meter expired on my rental car.

I was issued a citation but I blew it off because it was a rental car and I lived in Texas.

City of New Orleans got my information from Hertz and the collection agency tracked me down,

A $10 fine turned into a $50 fine.

I could see myself cruising down I 10 one day and get stopped and then boudreax says "we have a warrant for a parking voilation on you Bubba. You are under arrest."

Call the parking people and plea the "I,m from out of town and didn't know" option.

If they refuse, pay the fine.
