Texas Towing Compliance
The Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation Commissioners set the maximum towing fee for vehicles towed from
private property without the vehicle owner or operator consent. In what I consider a victory for consumer and business
pocketbooks, towing companies can no longer gouge consumers with ungodly fees. Soon towing related fees for
collisions will be regulated by TDLR.

Most cities regulate the rate, some allow no more than $65 to be charged, vs Austin $150, San Antonio $250, so ask for
the towing companies nonconsent tow fee schedule, they have to provide it.

Please read the rules regarding the drop fees to avoid being scammed!  The City of Austin Towing Ordinance
requires tow truck operators give a vehicle owner/operator 30 minutes to retrieve the funds to pay the drop fee.

Local cities and county governments who currently regulate private property impound fees will be required to adjust their
rates if over the maximum allowed fees.

Tow operators are not authorized to make entry into a motor vehicle for purposes of towing the vehicle under the non-
consent tow provisions of Occupations Code 2308.  Use of a “slim jim" or other device is not authorized under the towing
statute or rules.   After review of Occupations Code 2308, specifically section 2308.255, a tow operator is only authorized
to "remove and store" unauthorized vehicles.  Nothing in Occupations Code 2308.255 or the balance of that chapter
explicitly or implicitly authorizes a tow operator to break into or otherwise enter a locked vehicle with a and limited
purpose of removal and storage of the vehicle.  If you observe a tow operator trying to unlock a vehicle door without
the owner with a “slim jim” or other device without the consent of the owner or operator, call 911 to report a
burglary of a vehicle in progress.

Electoral primary season has arrived in Texas, early voting is now underway and the primaries conclude on Tuesday May 29th, 2012. Was Ben Franklin correct in saying that the people get the government that they deserve? How tolerant are you of misbehavior from your elected officials or from those attempting to get to represent you? For example, would you forgive someone for missing as many floor votes as Arlington's / Grand Prairie's Paula Pierson did during her brief time in Austin? Local voters promptly ousted Paula Pierson. She eventually "moved" by renting an apartment in a different electoral district (while still living elsewhere) in order to qualify electorally as a "resident" in her bid to keep Chris Turner from getting to return to Austin. Would you electorally tolerate such behavior patterns from your own current or aspiring elected officials? If not then please feel free to share the truth online about your own elected officials or local candidates with your local newspapers, radio and television stations (etc.). Your doing so would be for the good of our democracy and of the great state (and potential country) of Texas. Many primary races are close (due mainly to low voter turnout) and you can make a difference. As Edmund Burke said, all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good [people] do nothing.
