Ok, I live in Fosters Mill at the end of a cul-de-sac.  Mowing the yard this PM after the monsoon because grass is looking tall and had the wife's SUV parked directly in front of my house so I can blow out the garage.  As I am working my way to the street, I see a City of Houston car parked looking at my wife's vehicle.  At first I think it is a Water guy but he rolls down the window and motions me to come over.  As I am walking to his car I see the City of Houston Parking Division sticker and he tells me that I need to move the vehicle since I am not parked properly.  He tells me that I should be parked toward the flow of traffic and that there have been complaints of people parking in the street.  At this point I am a little lost since the vehicle is like I said, parked in front of MY house at the end of a cul-de-sac.  I mention this and go ahead and move the vehicle anyway.  He leaves but I am sure that I was about to get a ticket if I would not have been outside.Now, I have no issues with moving the vehicle but seriously, it's about 7 PM.  Bigger issue is that my garage and several other homes/vehicles were broken into back in February and I have seen 0 (zero) HPD's in my hood on patrol but I have the City of Houston telling me how to park.  What is going on here?  I am like WTF? Sorry, rant over.    4951

The parking division in KW? I wouldn't think they would be out in the suburbs. Thanks for letting us know. Glad you didn't get a ticket. 4951

Next time just tell them you used to live in England and forget which side of the road is which.  That should make 'em laugh! 4951

We live in Lakewood Cove, and they are out here a few times a year. I got one last year for blocking part of the sidewalk. I had my trailer hooked up and was inside getting ready to leave when they came by. I was bummed, but rules are rules I guess.  4951

I used to live in Mills Branch and my sister received a ticket for parking against the flow of traffic. I don't really see the problem with it, as long as they aren't too far from the curb. 4951

I got a warning on my vehicle from the constable for parking against the flow of traffic on our cul- de- sac street, yet we have 3 people who park their vehicles against traffic in the cul-de-sac every night. He came in the three minutes I left it there while we played musical vehicles. I wish they would come ticket the cars that park 3+ feet from the curb directly in line with driveways making it difficult for anyone to back out! 4951

wish they would come by here and check out the vehicle that parks everyday in front of the fire hydrant and only a foot or two from my driveway. When someone parks behind my driveway on the otherside and that vehicle is there I can barely get out of my own driveway! Worst yet last week they had company and they parked BEHIND their vehicle which then block about 3 feet of my driveway! Good thing they left before I did. Someday I will take their bumper out trying to get out my driveway. 4951

I got a ticket the day before yesterday for parking the wrong way in front of my house.  The city of Houston must be on a revenue drive. 4951

@TexasTideFan: No i totally agree, I had an HPD officer stop me the other day and tell me I was parked incorrectly as an excuse to try and search my vehicle and get a close up of my inspection and registration. My license was a few days from expiring and he sat that and hassled me about that for a few minutes before letting me go.

this sounds like there are people in your neighborhood complaining about parking,, so they send in the money collectors, to find anything in the area, to "show" they were there.Strange, because people in my neighborhood park crazy,, but nobody cares, as long as they are out of the way. 4951
