| Texas Towing Compliance was formed in the beginning to educate the Spanish community because some towing companies were targeting them because they did not know the rules, regulations and State Laws. It has been determined that not only is the Spanish community targeted, but the general public is preyed upon as well. The Texas Towing Act, Occupations Code Title 14. Regulation of Motor Vehicles and Transportation Chapter 2308.251-469 was written back in 1992, In 2007, Texas Legislature assigned the Texas Commission on Licensing & Registration to regulate towing companies and vehicle storage facility. In the early days before this State Law was passed, some towing companies would post small signs 15 feet off the ground in places that the average motorist would never see. Lots towing companies across the State operate a very, very unscrupulous business and employ tactics like parking "bait" vehicles in parking lots when a business is closed, so John Doe citizen will think parking is allowed, only to return to find their vehicle has been towed. Many towing companies employ drivers that rummage through vehicles they tow away, even take items, unlock doors and trunks just look and see what they can steal. With Texas Towing Compliance, you can be assured that we will provide you the most accurate compliance information that will enable you to recover the monetary damages allowed by State Law, from the parking facility, not the towing company. Within our site, we provide you the necessary links to file complaints with the state agency that regulates the towing and vehicle storage companies within Texas and the database link to verify the towing fees of the towing company that ripped you off. Don't be surprised when calling 911 if your told there is nothing they can do to help you, that is baloney. It is duty of a law enforcement agency enforce criminal laws that Texas Governor Perry signed into Law to protect the motoring public from these criminal enterprises. Don't let a police officer tell you they cannot do anything, it's a criminal offense for violating the Texas Towing Act. Under Sec. 2308.405. Violation of Chapter, A violation of this chapter is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $500 or more than $1,500. |

| Dear Pat, Thank you for your website!! I spoke with you on Monday of this week, unfortunately I could not send you the pictures that day for more detailed guidance, but the conversation we had helped me to focus on the specifics when I presented my case before the judge. I won!! The one sign posted on the lot was out of compliance with chapter 2308 and they only had one sign for the entire lot with two separate entrances in the front and the back. Fortunately, I had a fair and sympathetic judge. Your site is incredibly helpful and I will pass it on to anyone needing assistance. Unfortunately so many people are victims of illegal tow, but do not know their rights. Again, thank you for championing this cause!! Sincerely, Lena Jones Houston, Texas |
Most people discovering their vehicle missing call the Police to report it stolen only to be told
their vehicle was towed. It's quite a shock and a major shocker when they discover where the
storage lot is and the price they must pay to retrieve.
While we will admit based on horror stories from vehicle owners or operators when arriving at
the storage lot, most people don't have clue if the reason their vehicle was towed was actually
towed illegally or legally.
That is where Texas Towing Compliance comes in by a simple phone call or email to
determine what you should do, rather before and or after you retrieve your vehicle from the
storage lot.
In most cases, it does absolutely no good to raise hell with the storage lot attendant, because
their sole job is to receive and release vehicles with the required documents and charges owed.

| The above picture is of a perfect example of how towing companies along with parking facilities ripoff the unsuspecting vehicle owner or operators by towing vehicles from parking lots without any red and white towing signs posted at each driveway into the parking lot. The above parking lot has three driveways and no visible signs posted. This parking lot is in downtown Houston. |
