Frequently Asked Questions
Coke County has no fixed impound lot. Vehicles go to whichever private storage facility is next on the arresting agency's rotational wrecker list, and a DPS trooper's stop versus a Sheriff's deputy's stop on the same stretch of highway can send a car to two entirely different lots — frequently across the county line in San Angelo. Nobody at the jail proactively tells a released defendant where the car ended up; finding it means calling the Sheriff's Office non-emergency dispatch at (325) 453-2717 with the license plate and arrest date.
Retrieval runs into friction beyond the usual photo ID and proof-of-ownership requirements. If the arrest involved an accident or suspected narcotics, the arresting agency can place an investigative hold on the vehicle, and the private lot legally can't release it until that hold is formally lifted by the Sheriff's Office or DPS. If the driver wasn't the registered owner, that owner has to be present in person or provide a notarized power of attorney or a TDLR-approved affidavit of right of possession.
Storage fees start accruing the very first calendar day on the lot, and towing fees in this part of West Texas commonly run $180 to over $400 for a heavy-duty recovery, with an additional administrative notification fee, often around $50, if the vehicle sits for more than a few days.
Contesting an improper tow means filing within 14 days with the local Justice of the Peace.
