What do I need to do if I receive a citation even though I used the ParkMobile app?
- Although this is unlikely to occur, first review the copy of your ParkMobile receipt to ensure the space, license plate number and time for which you paid matches the space where your vehicle was parked and is within the time indicated on your citation. If you paid for the wrong space number or license plate number or if your time was expired, pay the citation or you may follow the instructions on the citation to file an online appeal. If the space and time paid match the information on the citation, provide your citation number and a copy of the ParkMobile payment receipt that was sent to your email address to the parking office via email to the Parking Office, or in person at the Harrington Science Building room 117, or contact us at 936-261-1701.
Is it safe to do a credit card transaction on the ParkMobile app?
- Yes. Your credit card number and cardholder information is encrypted to the industry standard and no employee or user has access to any cardholder data.
How much does it cost to pay by phone?
- You pay the stated posted parking rate for the lot where you parked plus a $0.35 transaction fee.
