Frequently Asked Questions
Riser Towing LLC is the primary impound and towing provider in Edna, running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for heavy, medium, and light-duty recovery. Because it accepts vehicles around the clock, Texas law requires it to release them around the clock too — a real benefit for anyone who posts bond overnight and wants to stop storage fees from piling up.
Texas caps a light-duty tow at $272, daily storage at $22.85 for standard vehicles or $39.99 for anything over 25 feet. If the owner reaches the vehicle before it's fully hooked up and the truck has left the property, Texas's drop-fee rule requires the operator to release it for a reduced fee instead of charging the full tow rate.
Retrieving the vehicle requires valid photo ID plus one of: a certificate of title not signed over to anyone else, a tax collector's receipt with a registration renewal card, a notarized power of attorney from the registered owner, or a court order. Proof of insurance is never a legal requirement for release — a tow yard demanding it is overstepping. Personal checks aren't accepted; cash, credit, or debit only.
