Frequently Asked Questions
Action Wrecker Service, based in Midland at 1109 S. Midland Drive, handles most law enforcement impounds across this stretch of the Permian Basin, including Loving County, operating 24/7 — call 432-697-8697. West Texas Master Towing also serves the region out of Winkler County. If the vehicle is held under a police investigative hold, the registered owner needs direct authorization from the arresting agency — the Loving County Sheriff or Texas DPS — before the storage facility can release it.
Texas caps a light-duty tow at $272 and daily storage at $22.85, with heavier vehicles running higher. Storage fees accrue for any part of a day past 12 hours, so an arrest late on a Friday that can't post bail until Monday means multiple days of storage stacking up fast. Retrieval requires valid ID, proof of ownership, and payment of all accrued fees — accepted via cash, debit, or any major credit card.
Anyone who believes the tow was wrongful or overcharged has 14 calendar days to request a Tow Hearing before the Justice of the Peace covering the precinct where the vehicle was towed — in Loving County, that's Judge Angela Medlin's court at 104 West Barstow Ave in Mentone. The filing fee runs roughly $20 to $54.
