Live Oak County Vehicle Impound Guide

Texas Towing South, at 524 Co Rd 101 in George West, is the primary wrecker service for Live Oak County impounds, running 24/7 — call 830-535-4202. K3 Towing, Recovery & Transport and Texas Wrecker Service also operate in the area as part of the county's rotation of authorized private tow companies, so the exact lot a vehicle lands at depends on which operator responded; calling the Sheriff's Office dispatch or the booking desk confirms which one.

Texas caps a light-duty tow at $272 and daily storage at $22.85, and a useful consumer protection applies automatically: if a vehicle sits on the lot less than 12 hours even across two calendar days, the facility can only charge for one day. There's an even better option if timing allows — if the owner reaches the vehicle before the tow truck actually leaves the property, state law requires the operator to release it for a reduced drop fee instead of completing the impound. If an operator refuses that release, contacting local law enforcement and then filing a complaint with the TDLR is the next step.

Retrieving a vehicle requires valid photo ID and proof of ownership — a title, current registration, or an insurance policy in the claimant's name. If the arrested driver wasn't the registered owner, that owner has to show up in person or provide notarized authorization for someone else to do it.
