/Sounds like "tee" (as in "tea") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Chicano Spanglish for a traffic ticket, borrowed from English. Getting a ticket from the cops for speeding or driving uninsured is a costly fear in many Latino communities in the US.
“The cops pulled me over and gave me a ticket for a busted taillight.”
“I have two unpaid tickets, they are about to take my license.”
