If you were not responsible for a vehicle at the time a parking citation was issued because the vehicle was stolen, sold, or rented, you can use a notarized form to show that to the court.
1. Identify and obtain the address of the responsible party.
2. Fill out the parking non-liability affidavit (PDF, 731 KB) to show you weren't responsible for the offense.
Do not sign it without a notary public present. If you submit the form in person at a Municipal Court location, a notary public will be there.
3. Get the form notarized.
You can find a notary public on the Texas Secretary of State's website.
4. Submit the form.
- By mail
-
Mail the notarized form to:
Austin Municipal Court
P.O. Box 2135
Austin, TX 78768 - By email
-
Attach the form to an email to court@austintexas.gov.
- In person

You can get the form notarized and submit it at either of the two Municipal Court locations, Main Courthouse and Jaime Padron Substation.
