costs arising from claims for damages, or suits for losses or damages, including reasonable costs and

And furthermore, in the event of joint and/or shared negligence or fault of the City and MVBA,
responsibility and indemnity, if any, shall be apportioned in accordance with Texas law and without
waiving any defenses of either party. The provisions of this paragraph are intended for the sole benefit

thirty percent (30%) of the amount of the Fines and Fees collected by the Court as provided by
Article 103.0031 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on those cases in which the data files are
