Parking tickets
Are outstanding parking tickets bounds for denial? Is so what rule?

Re: Parking tickets
I'm not sure in answer to your question. OTH, why not just pay for the outstanding tickets and be done with it?

Re: Parking tickets
I was just asking. Say you got one but did not know or it fell off your window. I just don't want to find out that I had one.
Re: Parking tickets
Parking tickets don't affect your eligibility for a CHL unless a warrant was issued for your arrest because you failed to pay them. (I don't know if they even do that in Texas these days.)

Re: Parking tickets
Parking tickets are a civil matter, I think. Can you be arrested for civil violations?
The city of Dallas posts the 100 worst parking violation offenders. I haven't made the list yet.

Re: Parking tickets
Not generally, but I think if someone issues a summons and you don't show, a judge can issue an arrest warrant.Drewthetexan wrote:Can you be arrested for civil violations?
As I said, I don't know if they do that kind of thing in Texas now. Some cities just let a commercial collection agency go after the scofflaws.

Just an FYI, not more than two months ago travis county sheriffs showed up at my employers building with a warrant for a co worker for an outstanding speeding ticket. They arrested him and brought him to one of our conference rooms where he was allowed to call in and pay for the ticket, at which point he was released from custody. I'm not sure if they would issue a warrant for a non moving violation like a parking ticket as in the OP case.
Re: Parking tickets
Moving violations are different from parking tickets.
Moving violations are criminal offenses (mostly class C misdemeanors), and the "perpetrator" has been positively identified during a traffic stop.
There is generally no way to prove who parked a car, so it's difficult to prosecute the owner. That's why parking tickets are mostly civil actions these days.
