Frequently Asked Questions
The Lynn County Sheriff's Office runs vehicle impound directly, at 810 Lockwood Street in Tahoka — call 806-561-4505 to locate a vehicle. The release line follows standard county office hours: Monday through Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., but just 8:30 a.m. to noon on Fridays. That Friday cutoff is a real trap — anyone arrested over a weekend can't retrieve their vehicle until Monday, racking up multiple days of storage fees in the meantime.
Texas caps a standard light-duty tow at $272 and daily storage at $22.85 ($39.99 for vehicles over 25 feet), with a 12-hour crossover rule that limits the charge to one day if the vehicle is on the lot less than 12 total hours across two calendar days. A detail worth knowing: TDLR regulations explicitly prohibit the Sheriff's Office or any storage facility from demanding proof of insurance as a condition of releasing the vehicle — only valid ID and an accepted release document (title, court order, lease, or notarized power of attorney) are required.
