Ex Parte Harrison
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
The opinion states the case.
1Opinion of the Court
Christian, Judge.
Relator was convicted in the corporation court of the City of Lubbock for parking his automobile in a meter parking space without depositing a nickel in the meter. After being committed to jail he applied to the district judge of Lubbock County for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was granted, a hearing was had, and he was again committed to the city jail. Hence this appeal.
Relator contends that the parking meter ordinance of the City of. Lubbock is invalid in that it imposes a fee for the use of the streets and “constitutes a violation of the city’s contractual authority”…
