Frequently Asked Questions

Cass County has no centralized impound lot. The Sheriff's Office dispatches from a rotation of private operators under Texas Occupations Code 2308.209, including Adrian Towing and Recovery, All City Towing, All Pro Tow & Recovery, GT Towing, J's Southland Towing, and Miller Tow Service. Because the choice is made by rotation, not geography or preference, finding a specific vehicle means calling the arresting agency, the Sheriff's non-emergency dispatch or the local DPS barracks, with the license plate and arrest date.

Texas caps a light-duty tow at $255, medium-duty at $357, and heavy-duty at $459, with daily storage and administrative fees compounding on top. If the vehicle sits unclaimed, the lot can legally auction it after mailing two statutory notices and waiting 30 days.

Retrieval requires a valid photo ID and proof of ownership — a title, a tax collector's receipt with a registration renewal card, or a TDLR-approved affidavit of right of possession. If the driver arrested wasn't the registered owner, that owner has to appear in person or send a notarized power of attorney. If the arresting agency placed a law enforcement hold on the vehicle for evidentiary purposes, the lot is legally barred from releasing it, or even letting the owner retrieve personal items, until that hold is cleared directly with the agency.

Contesting an improper tow or an overcharge means filing within 14 days at any Justice of the Peace court in the county, such as Precinct 1 in Linden — a deadline that bewildered defendants juggling a fresh criminal charge often miss.
