Texas laws require businesses and government offices to reserve accessible parking spaces for certain people with disabilities. To park in one of those designated places without displaying an appropriate plate or placard is a violation of Texas law and is punishable as follows: First offense: $250-$500 Second offense: $300-$600 Third offense: $300-$600 Fourth offense: $500-$1000, plus 20-50 hours of community service Fifth offense: $1000, plus 50 hours of community service (source) Now... private property owners (such as a business) have the right to reserve parking spaces for specific people: Kroger can reserve for pregnant women, "UPS Store Parking Only", Parking space reserved for John Smith, etc... The business must have that clearly posted. The business has the right to have vehicles removed from such marked parking spots (towed) at the owner's expense. (source)
what? owning an exotic sportscar and not having the common sense or money to park it where its safe/legal or even have it valet parked?
I'm not used to this street language that these silly kids are using these days. But now it makes sense.
