Frequently Asked Questions
West Central Towing & Recovery, headquartered at 100 East Uvalde Street in Rocksprings, handles nearly all impound and recovery work across Edwards County and six surrounding counties, running 24-hour dispatch with an 80,000-pound heavy recovery fleet.
Because the same trucks regularly get pulled to clear rollovers on the rural stretches outside town — the curves on TX-55 south of Rocksprings are a known trouble spot — the physical lot isn't continuously staffed. Anyone trying to retrieve a vehicle needs to call the 24-hour dispatch line to arrange a specific time to meet an operator at the gate.
Retrieval requires a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and proof of ownership — a title or registration. If the person claiming the vehicle isn't the registered owner, a notarized release form from the owner is required before the yard will let the car go. Given the size of the county, it's worth confirming the exact tow destination with the arresting deputy early, since a vehicle towed from the county's outer edges could end up staged at a secondary lot in a neighboring jurisdiction if local resources are stretched thin.
