Citation Appeals

You may appeal any Texas Woman’s University parking citation through the University Traffic Appeals Committee. Members of the committee are faculty, staff and students who meet to consider the appeals of traffic tickets.

A person who receives a citation may believe it is unwarranted. If so, he or she may request a review. This review is conducted by the University's Parking Appeals Board. The appeal must be filed online within 10 calendar days from the date of the citation. The appeals board will notify the appellant of its decision.

Appeals must be submitted online.

The citation does not need to be paid while it is on appeal. Late fees will not accrue during this time.

All appeals are based on the TWU Traffic Regulations. Your personal opinion alone is not a legitimate reason to dismiss a ticket. This includes opinions that the regulation is unfair. It also includes feeling there is insufficient parking on campus.

Instructions:

• Appeals must be filed online within 10 days of receiving the ticket. After 10 days appeals will not be accepted, and the ticket with the late fee must be paid
• Appeals are first based on your written statement. The Appeals Board reviews the written statement. If the appeal is denied, a personal appeal can be requested.
• Make sure the address and telephone number you provide is current. The information you provide is used to notify you. We use it to inform you of the appeal decision. It is also used to notify you of the time of your in-person appeal, should you choose that option
• On the form, write out the reason(s) for your appeal. Include relevant facts, applicable portion(s) of the TWU Traffic Regulations, and any extenuating or mitigating circumstances. Evidence such as photographs can be submitted with the form. Remember: the details you provide is the information the appeals committee uses to decide the appeal
