Frequently Asked Questions
Jeff Davis County has no municipal impound lot. Alpine Towing, based in neighboring Alpine, is the primary regional operator, running 24/7 flatbed and long-distance recovery with the specialized incident-management licensing required for the mountainous terrain around the TX-118/TX-166 loop and FM 170. Fort Davis Towing and Advance Towing also dispatch in the broader area.
The real friction here isn't finding the vehicle — it's that the defendant is typically transported 127 miles away to the Hudspeth County Jail at the exact same time, with no public transportation linking the two locations. Storage fees accrue the entire 24 to 48 hours a defendant usually spends in custody before they can even start the trip back.
Retrieving the vehicle requires a valid photo ID — a passport or the temporary DIC-25 permit works if the physical license was confiscated at arrest — plus proof of ownership through insurance or registration documents.
