    I am handicapped and have Texas handicapped license plates. Have your dad check into it but I think the Texas Traffic Code requires that the designated space must be marked not only on the pavement but also by a sign that can be seen from the front of the vehicle at driving height. If there was no sign, there is no violation. I'm pretty sure about this. When I got my plates a couple months ago, the informational brochure had something to this effect in there. I through the brochure away after I read it or I'd try to find it.

    I'll check it out, what gets me the most is the guy on the information line said some people steal tickets off of other cars to put on their own so that they don't get a ticket themselves.

    I wasn't there, my dad was.

    There was no sign on the wall, that combined with no proper lighting in the area should be sufficient to contest the citation. Hopefully..

    Left Nashville late last night and made it home just in time to have a dinner with my parents. Well worth driving non stop and with no ac. Well I did take a little 4 hour nap in Texarkana.

    A home cooked meal is always worth it. I drove straight thru from Norfolk to south of Ft Worth once for a home cooked meal. I left Norfolk a little before noon and told my Mom to set an extra plate out for breakfast. I pulled in to the yard right about 6 am. I hit DFW right before all the morning rush hour bs.
