Hi there,
I am an attorney at Shaw Cowart, LLP in Austin, TX and have some feedback for you on your situation.
Since the accident occurred in a private parking lot, the Police will not issue a citation. Thankfully there were no injuries. However, because of that you may have a little trouble finding a lawyer to handle this. It will likely cost you a lot of money to pay a lawyer because only property damage is involved. It may be more appropriate to take this to Small Claims Court (Justice of the Peace) where you do not need an attorney.
You certainly have a good argument that you had the right of way in the parking lot. You were proceeding down a travel lane, while she was pulling out of a parking space.
Good luck to you!
Shaw Cowart, LLP
