The parking brake shoes glaze with time and lose their OE friction coefficient. You need to burnish them. Find a nice long downhill and retard the car by pulling on the parking brake - LIGHTLY. Keep you thumb on the button so you can release it immediately.

A nice long downhill mountain grade is a great way to do this. With the short steep hills in Frisco it may take two to three "treatments".
