  1. A posted sign reads: 'NO PARKING 7AM-9AM MON-FRI.' A vehicle is parked there at 8:30 AM on a Saturday. What should the TEA do?

    Answer: Allow the vehicle to remain; the restriction does not apply on Saturday

    The restriction is only in effect Monday through Friday, so a vehicle parked there on Saturday is not in violation.

  2. According to standard TEA procedures, when writing a summons, what information is most critical to record accurately?

    Answer: The license plate number, state, and exact location of the violation

    Accurate license plate number, state, and location are essential to properly identify the vehicle and the violation.

  3. A TEA reads the following instruction: 'Do not issue summonses to vehicles displaying valid handicapped placards in designated accessible spaces.' A vehicle with an expired placard is in an accessible space. What is the correct action?

    Answer: Issue a summons because the placard is expired and therefore not valid

    An expired placard is not a valid placard, so the vehicle does not meet the exemption criteria and is subject to a summons.

  4. A supervisor's memo states: 'All agents must log meal breaks in the field activity report.' An agent forgets to log a break. Which best describes the consequence?

    Answer: The agent is in violation of a written departmental procedure

    Failing to follow a written departmental procedure constitutes a violation of that policy regardless of intent.

  5. A sign states: 'STREET CLEANING TUE & FRI 11AM-1PM.' A TEA arrives at 11:15 AM on a Friday. Which vehicles may receive summonses?

    Answer: All vehicles parked on the affected side of the street

    Once the street cleaning restriction is in effect, all vehicles parked on the restricted side are in violation and subject to summons.

  6. A written directive states agents must photograph a vehicle before issuing a summons for a fire hydrant violation. An agent issues a summons without taking a photo. What problem could arise?

    Answer: The summons may be dismissed in adjudication due to missing required documentation

    Failing to follow required documentation procedures can result in the summons being dismissed when contested.

  7. A TEA reads: 'Vehicles with commercial plates loading or unloading may stand in a no-standing zone for up to 30 minutes.' A commercial truck has been there 45 minutes. What should the TEA do?

    Answer: Issue a summons because the 30-minute limit has been exceeded

    The vehicle exceeded the 30-minute exemption window and is now in violation of the no-standing regulation.
