What do I need to do if I receive a citation even though I used the pay by phone system?
Although this is unlikely to occur, first review the copy of your PayByPhone receipt to ensure the space (or license plate number for pay and display areas) and time for which you paid matches the space where your vehicle was parked and is within the time indicated on your citation. If you paid for the wrong space number (or license plate number for pay and display areas) or if your time was expired, pay the citation or you may follow the instructions on the citation to file an online appeal. If the space and time paid match the information on the citation, provide your citation number and a copy of the PayByPhone payment receipt that was sent to your email address to the parking office via email to parking@tamu.edu, fax at 979-845-6025, in person at 108 Koldus, or by mail to Transportation Services, 1250 TAMU, College Station, TX 77845.

Your phone number becomes your parking account number. It's easy for you to remember and it's unique to you. Your personal information is locked behind a secret PIN that you choose. And don't worry, nobody will call you! Please see PayByPhone's Privacy Policy at http://PayByPhone.com/privacy.
