Frequently Asked Questions
Goodrum's Wrecker Service in Vernon, roughly 30 miles from Crowell, handles most non-consent tows originating in Foard County — Foard itself has no large-scale storage facility of its own.
If the lot isn't staffed around the clock, Texas law only requires a release within one hour of a request between 8 a.m. and midnight Monday through Saturday, or 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Show up outside those windows and the vehicle waits until the next business day. If the owner reaches the vehicle while it's being hooked but not yet fully prepped for towing, they can take it back with no charge and no proof of ownership required on the spot; if it's already hooked but hasn't left the lot, a standard drop fee applies instead. Owners are always entitled to retrieve personal property or ownership documents from inside the vehicle without being charged an access fee.
A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation notification fee of up to $50 applies once the lot notifies the owner the vehicle is in its possession. Anyone who believes the tow was illegal can file a request at the Foard County Courthouse, where Justice of the Peace Katy Marlow presides over tow hearings, within 14 calendar days — the court must hold the hearing within 21 days, and a successful challenge wipes out both the tow and storage fees.
