Frequently Asked Questions
Nearly every non-consensual DWI tow in Randall County ends up at the same place: Canyon Towing, on US-87 in Canyon, which handles the vast majority of tows for both the Sheriff's Office and the Canyon Police Department. The towing side runs 24/7, but don't confuse that with the administrative release, which generally follows standard business hours and can grind to a halt over the lunch hour, typically noon to 1 p.m.
After-hours costs extra, and it adds up fast
State law permits an after-hours release but doesn't require one, and most Panhandle impound yards charge for it when they do. That fee is billed by staff time, up to roughly $19.95 per quarter hour, which turns a late-night or weekend pickup into a noticeably more expensive errand than a same-day one during business hours.
The storage math that saves you a day
Storage fees can run to a second day only if the vehicle is actually on the lot more than 12 hours, even if that stretch crosses midnight into a new calendar day. A car towed at 11 p.m. Friday and picked up by 9 a.m. Saturday is under that 12-hour mark and should be billed for one day, not two.
What to bring
Retrieving the vehicle requires the owner of record's valid government photo ID, proof of insurance, and proof of ownership through a title or current registration. If the person picking it up isn't the registered owner, that owner needs to be present in person or provide a notarized power of attorney.
Challenging the tow
A defendant who believes the tow lacked probable cause has 14 days to request a hearing at the Justice of the Peace court, filed with JP 4 at the Justice Center in Canyon.
