My car was parked on the street and hit by a Transportation of Authority driver
My car was parked on a residential street, when I came outside the Texas Mits van
driver told me he he thought he had the turn and hit my car, the supervisor came
out and told me they will take care of everything , took my info I finally got a
call back after leaving several messages, for them just to tell me it was my
fault that I was only 10 ft from the street sign and it should be 30 ft. Who is
at fault here I was not in the vehicle.

The van driver was at fault for hitting your parked car.
You should file a property damage claim (cost of repairs to your car) with the van's insurance carrier.
If the case is not settled, you can sue the van's owner for negligence. You would also name the van's driver in your lawsuit.
If the van is owned by the city, file your property damage claim with the city. Don't miss any filing deadlines with the city or your claim may be denied.
