When preparing for a hearing to determine if probable cause existed to have your vehicle placed in storage, you will need take several (10+) photographs, with
a Digital Camera that can show the date and time on the picture. To give you an idea of what photographs need to be taken, below I will recommend you get
the same types and angles as shown below. The more pictures you have, the better chance the Judge will understand your case. It's important to make sure
your photos have the date and time on them.
If you suspect your vehicle was wrongfully towed, you want to take these photographs as soon as possible!
Please remember, the Judge that could hear your towing hearing case could have took campaign contributions from the towing company and vehicle storage
facility, which gives you the right to recuse the Judge because of campaign contributions.

| Your Day in Court Before Judge Seeking Your Money Back from Being Illegally Towed |
Should you not win during the first round of hearings about your vehicle being towed, you have a much better chance at getting $1000 after Sept 1, 2009 plus 3 times what
you paid to retrieve your vehicle from the parking facility owner/agent. When taking the parking facility to Justice Court for parking facility, not the victim of illegal towing.
We highly recommend that a victim goes directly after the parking facility, instead of the towing company, for monetary damages!
Don't be discouraged when told by a court clerk the towing hearing is held where the vehicle was towed, as this changed effective September 1, 2009. The State of Texas
is extremely slow with updating the various changes in State Law.
