Frequently Asked Questions
Hutchinson County has no centralized municipal impound lot. The Borger Police Department and Sheriff's Office dispatch through a rotation of private towing contractors, so finding a vehicle starts with a call to the arresting agency's non-emergency line to confirm which lot received it.
Texas caps a light-duty tow at $272, daily storage at $22.85 for vehicles under 25 feet or $39.99 for larger ones, a drop fee (if the owner arrives before the truck leaves) at $135, and a notification fee up to $50. Lots must accept at least one form of electronic payment alongside cash and can't demand proof of insurance as a condition of release. A facility that doesn't run 24/7 must still release vehicles within an hour of a request made between 8 a.m. and midnight Monday through Saturday, or 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Retrieving the car requires a valid photo ID and proof of ownership — a title or registration receipt. If the registered owner isn't available, a notarized power of attorney is required.
Contesting an unlawful tow or excessive fees requires filing within 14 days at Justice of the Peace Precinct 1, under Judge Ford, along with the standard JP civil filing fee.
