Property Managers and parking facility owners should read this.
It is not uncommon for apartment managers/owners to accept bribes such as trips to Las Vegas, the Caribbean, parking lot striping, signage,
parking permits and lots of other perks from towing companies to enforce their (towing company) parking rules.
Parking facility owners or property managers face being arrested for violating any portion of the Texas Towing Law, since they gave the towing
company authorization to tow. In Austin, the fine per violation is $1064.00, imagine if 10 vehicles were towed illegally from your parking lot,
that would make the total fine $10,640.00. Think your towing company is going to pay for fine or bail you out of jail, we seriously doubt it, since
the wrecker driver(s) will be fined the same amount, in addition to losing their wrecker license.

| Texas Towing Law can be found here! |
| Please file a complaint against a towing company, wrecker driver or vehicle storage facility regarding their rude conduct towards you, refusing to release your vehicle within one hour's notice, refusing to provide the name, address, phone number to the person who authorized the towing of your vehicle or refusal to provide their insurance information, without hesitation, please file a complaint by clicking here! |
| To find out license, insurance or nonconsent tow fee schedule information on a specific towing company or vehicle storage facility, click here to the State of Texas database. When calling the storage lot, find out the towing fee charged and the name of the towing company, then go into this database with the towing company's name to check to make the towing fee is no higher than what is posted with TDLR (the agency that regulates the towing and vehicle storage industry) |
| A STATUTORY MANDATED LEGAL SIGN WORDING AND LAYOUT |
| The one thing the motoring public can do, is to call, email and write your Texas state Senator or House Representative, and demand they sponsor legislation, to amend: Occupations Code 2308.405 to read: A violation of this chapter is a Class B Misdemeanor punishable by: (1) a fine not to exceed $2,000; (2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 180 days; or (3) both such fine and confinement. Occupations Code 2308.453 to read, "A hearing under this chapter shall be in the justice court having jurisdiction in the precinct in which the parking facility is located", and if the storage facility fails to provide the name, address, and telephone number of the person, property owner, or law enforcement agency that authorized the removal of the vehicle, the fourteen (14) day deadline for filing the request under Sec. 2308.452 does not apply. A registered vehicle owner and voter should be allowed to vote for the Judge hearing their tow hearing, instead of having to drive to another county or precinct. The original statute required the tow hearing to be held in the precinct the parking facility was located, but the towing industry lobby had it changed to benefit their bottomline. It's bad enough that you get burned by the towing company that the hearing to determine if probable cause existed to have your vehicle towed, is held in a court, that Judge is close friends or related with towing company owner or attorney, thanks to campaign contributions, bar tabs. STOP THIS JUDICIAL MADNESS AND RETURN THE HEARING TO YOUR ELECTED JUDGES! THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS CONTINUING CRIME AGAINST THE PUBLIC BY TOWING COMPANIES AND PARKING FACILITIES IS TO INCREASE THE PENALTY! |
| If your vehicle was illegal towed from within the McAllen city limits, victims are encouraged to contact Sgt. Eduardo De La Rosa with the McAllen Police Department at 956-972-7483 or email. |
