(a) Except as provided in Subsection (b) this section, each parking meter shall display an indicator showing legal parking upon the deposit of an appropriate payment. The parking time allowed by the payment amount must be clearly indicated on the meter. Each meter shall continue operation from the time payment is made until expiration of the appropriate parking time. At the end of that parking time, the meter shall indicate by the display of a signal that the lawful parking period has expired.
(b) Parking time is not required to be displayed on the meter if payment has been made by telephone or the Internet. A person who pays for metered parking by telephone or the Internet will receive an electronic receipt or other form of confirmation of the transaction indicating the parking time allowed by the payment. The owner, operator, manager, or driver of the vehicle parked in the metered parking space is responsible for knowing when the allowed parking time will expire. Parking time allowed through a payment transaction by telephone or the Internet may also be accessed and displayed on a handheld device carried by a police officer or other person authorized to issue parking citations.
