Parking violators must pay or be booted
CORPUS CHRISTI - The grace period for people who ignore city parking tickets is running out.
The Corpus Christi Municipal Court recently began sending certified letters to registered owners of vehicles with three or more outstanding parking tickets. The letters are being sent incrementally until all 487 offenders receive notice, Municipal Court Administrator Rene Mendiola said. So far, 150 letters have been sent, he said.
Offenders need to pay the total amount or arrange a payment plan. If the bill is not paid within 10 days of the letter, police or parking attendants can affix a parking boot to the vehicle.
Cars can be booted anytime they are in a public street, highway, alley, walkway or on city-owned property. Removing the boot costs an extra $45, plus the past due fines.
Interest isn't charged on the fines, Mendiola said.
Parking fines generally are $40 each if received after Oct. 1, 2009. Before then, fines were $15 each.
The most outstanding tickets any registered owner has is 18.
Mendiola said the city began sending letters when the municipal court hired an employee for a position that had been vacant for nearly a year. The new employee is in charge of collecting old fines.

His spineless duplicity confirms that the good guy is actually pretty much a louse.
When Silajdzic raised this, Milosevic said, "I am not a louse," and yielded immediately.
This not only makes you look like a louse, it makes you look like a helpless, bed-wetting man-child.
"parasitic insect infecting human hair and skin," Old English lus, from Proto-Germanic *lus (cf. Old Norse lus, Middle Dutch luus, Dutch luis, Old High German lus, German Laus), from PIE *lus- "louse" (cf. Welsh lleuen "louse"). Slang meaning "obnoxious person" is from 1630s. The plural lice (Old English lys) shows effects of i-mutation. The verb meaning "to clear of lice" is from late 14c.; to louse up "ruin, botch" first attested 1934, from the literal sense (of bedding), from 1931.
louse (lous)
n. pl. lice (līs)
Any of numerous small, flat-bodied, wingless biting or sucking insects of the orders Mallophaga or Anoplura, many of which are external parasites on humans.
