Felipe Garza, chief of police at Texas A&M University \u2013 Kingsville (TAMUK), said on the first day of class the University Police Department (UPD) issued 55 parking tickets.<\/p>

The second day, UPD issued a staggering 70 citations.<\/p>

As of Sept. 6, UPD has issued more than 450 parking tickets just during the Fall 2018 semester.<\/p>

TAMUK Students took to twitter to complain and make fun of TAMUK\u2019s parking.<\/p>

\u201cI love my school and all but @TAMUK really needs to do something about the parking situation\u2026 Literally the only down-fall of going to school here,\u201d @briananicole_15 wrote.<\/p>

The TAMUK Parking and Traffic Regulations list 20 types of parking tickets such as $50 for parking in the wrong zone, $75 for no parking zone and even $25 for displaying multiple permits.<\/p>

Holds are also placed on your TAMUK account until the citation is paid.<\/p>

Fines must be paid in 14 calendar days from when the ticket was issued. If it is not paid by then a late fee of $20 is added.<\/p>

Speech Communications major at TAMUK Taylor Guidry knows well what it is like to have a parking ticket go past due.<\/p>

Guidry parked outside Newman Hall for five minutes to grab her backpack. On her way back to the car she saw the police officer writing the ticket.<\/p>

Guidry said she had a parking pass, but that it was flipped backwards.<\/p>

Her budget has affected Guidry\u2019s ability to pay the citation.<\/p>

\u201cThe money I do have I feel like it should go towards something useful: my books or food,\u201d Guidry said.<\/p>

If you feel your citation should be dismissed, you can file for an appeal online through Parking Spot on JNET.<\/p>

Once you file an appeal you will receive confirmation through your school email. The Parking and Traffic Regulations state, \u201cIt is the individual\u2019s responsibility to ensure that a hearing date has been assigned, by contacting the Appeals Committee.\u201d<\/p>
