So I got a parking ticket. Full disclosure I completely deserve it. Parked where I shouldn't have and was inside for about an hour and came out to a ticket. $70.

Is there any way to get out of it? Some magic phrase to contest it with? Go in person?

So you deserve it but wanna get out of it?

If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

Gilligan law firm for $50 but you have to show up. Likely to get dismissed.

Yes that's right. I'd rather have the $70 than not if there is an easy trick to keep it.

If there was an easy trick, everyone would be doing it

Pay it and move on

The trick is to ignore it. They won't do anything until you get 3 and then they'll boot your car.

They will send you to collections on just one. I've had more than one client have it happen.

I got one that I deserved a few weeks ago. Went to the parking ticket court downtown on saturday morning and saw a judge and she reduced it to $35 from $70

that's what they used to do. Under the super corrupt Sly Turner administration, one of his cronies tows and impounds your car at owner's expense.

If you don't pay the ticket, towing, and impoundment fees within 30 days, another Turner crony has your car crushed into a compact cube.

If you don't pay the ticket, towing, impoundment, and crushing into a cube fees within another 30 days, another Turner crony throws your cube into buffalo bayou at owner's expense.

If you don't pay the ticket, towing, impoundment, crushing into a cube, and throwing into buffalo bayou fees within 30 days, Turner himself issues a mayoral proclamation that you are a racist.

Question the amount. Mine was just $30 a few months ago and well worth the illegal park.

Different areas have different fine amounts.

It's a pain to fight them and the only time I tried I waited until after the protest period but a trip to the basement of the Lubbock courthouse got it taken care of.

I got a parking ticket (line on street & sign didn't line up and I was not over the line on the ground but barely past the no parking sign) in a truck I had just bought and I paid the ticket but the previous owner told me he was still getting letters for non-payment. After sending him the ticket payment confirmation he called and it turns out I was issued two tickets for the same infringement by separate meter maids. No help over the phone with the courthouse so I called a lawyer and she said she couldn't do much since the protest period had ended but she recommended I go to the courthouse to explain what happened. Line kinda sucked but it worked out.

The only thing that's a bigger waste of time than fighting a $70 parking ticket is for people to post for hours on Texags on how or how not to fight a parking ticket. Now I am an idiot for getting sucked in just like the rest of you.
