The Corpus Christi Police Department, along with the City of Corpus Christ Taxi Inspectors Office, conducted enforcement action on local ridesharing services that were found to be operating outside city ordinances. As a result of the action, two individuals were cited for multiple violations pertaining to the vehicle for hire section in the Code of Ordinances for the City of Corpus Christi.

A 24- year- old male was cited at 11:26 AM on June 26 for no drivers permit, no certificate of operation, and no window decal. All three of the charges are violations under section 57 of the city ordinances. Police also impounded his 2007 GMC truck. At about 2:23 PM, a 58- year- old male was also cited for the same three violations and his 2004 Isuzu SUV was impounded.
