My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: Texas
Does a police officer have the jurisdiction to give a parking ticket to an individual in a private parking lot. And what should you do when they do.
I received a citation form a city police officer for parking on the white lines at the end of a parking row in the Walmart parking lot. There is enough space for three cars, it is not a handicapped parking space, not a red zone, it does not block a handicapped parking spot, and there are no signs. This officer wrote on the citation, Violation for Parking Unauthorized PRC545.304. I looked up this code and it had nothing to do with a parking violation, it pertained to an individual moving a parked vehicle that did not belong to them from a parking spot or away from the curb, kind of strange. I was once in a car accident in a restaurant parking lot in the same town and the police wouldn't come out because it was private property and they said that they did not have jurisdiction.
Thank you for your time.
