Hey ****! The Texas Transportation Code covers a wide range of topics related to transportation in Texas. Could you specify which part of the code or what specific issue you're dealing with? This will help me provide more accurate information.
My vehicle is legally parked in the road in front of my house and a constable knocked on my door and told me to move it cause he got a complaint
Hi ****, it's important to understand why the constable asked you to move your legally parked vehicle. Here are some possible reasons under the Texas Transportation Code:
- Blocking driveways
- Obstructing traffic flow
- Local ordinances
Can you provide more details on any specific reason the constable mentioned?
no reason, just told me he got a complaint, I have been parking the car in the same spot for a little over 2 years with nothing. Plus when I questioned him why , he said cause it is in the street and I better move it or else
Hi ****! It sounds frustrating to deal with this situation. You might want to check if there are any new local ordinances or temporary regulations regarding street parking. Additionally, you could contact your local city or county office for clarification on any recent changes.
Do you want information on how to file a complaint or contest this issue?
no new ordinances, this has been going on for several years now with some law enforcement department coming and telling me to do one thing or another and I usually comply, but this time I feel like it was more of a challenge or threat
