Frequently Asked Questions

Llano Towing runs 24/7 emergency dispatch and recovery for the county — call 325-735-4917 to start the process. The exact address of the impound lot isn't published anywhere, so coordinating the vehicle's release means going through the dispatch line directly rather than just driving to a lot.

Texas caps a light-duty tow at $272 and daily storage at $22.85, with an exception that favors vehicle owners: if the car sits on the lot for parts of two calendar days but less than 12 hours total, the facility can only bill for one day. There's also a drop charge of $135 if the owner shows up before the hooked-up vehicle actually leaves the arrest scene — in that case, the vehicle has to be released rather than hauled away.

To retrieve a vehicle, bring valid photo ID, proof of ownership (a title or current registration), and proof of insurance. If the arrested driver wasn't the registered owner, that owner has to retrieve it personally or sign a notarized release authorizing someone else to do it. Tow operators and storage facilities are legally required to accept cash, debit, and credit — refusing a credit card is itself a regulatory violation worth reporting.
