Texas state law gives car owners protections and rights against exploitative and unreasonable towing.
If your car was towed from the parking lot of your apartment complex, you may be wondering whether that’s legal in Texas.
The storage company has the right to auction off your car if you don’t claim it within 31 days of the second written notice.“Numerous unlawfully towed victims complain of signs and markings that aren’t placed in noticeable areas, confusing information on the slot or sign, as well as weather-worn information on the sign,”
If your car was towed illegally, the operator is not licensed or the license is invalid or expired, you might not have to pay tow or storage fees. A complaint can be filed in the Justice of the Peace court to recover towing fees and the cost to repair any damage. You can request a tow hearing in justice court within 14 days of the tow, and the court will hold a hearing within 21 days of filing.Dalia Faheid is a reporter on the Star-Telegram’s service journalism team.
