Frequently Asked Questions
Irion County has no municipal impound lot. The Sheriff's Office dispatches through a rotation of San Angelo-based operators, primarily Wilson Wrecker and Home Motors, so the vehicle ends up roughly 30 miles away regardless of where the arrest happened.
Texas caps a light-duty tow at $272, daily storage at $22.85 for standard vehicles or $39.99 for oversized ones, a one-time impoundment fee of $22.85, and a notification fee of $50. A useful quirk: the "12-hour rollover rule" means a vehicle impounded at 10 p.m. and retrieved by 8 a.m. the next day only accrues a single day's storage, despite crossing midnight — as long as the total stay fits inside that 12-hour window.
Retrieving the vehicle requires valid photo ID and proof of ownership. If the driver isn't the registered owner, that owner has to be present or provide a notarized release authorization. The real friction isn't the paperwork — it's that a defendant released from the Tom Green County jail is typically stranded in San Angelo without a valid license, and has to arrange a ride just to reach the lot.
