Frequently Asked Questions
Roberts County has no commercial vehicle storage facility of its own, so DWI-related tows go to Bob Douthit Auto in Pampa, across the line in Gray County — 1432 S Barnes St, phone 806-669-3481, open 24/7. The shop's been operating since the mid-1960s and handles light, medium, and heavy-duty towing plus storage and salvage.
Texas's statewide caps govern the fees regardless of which county the lot sits in: $272 for a light-duty tow, $380 for medium-duty, up to $978 for heavy-duty, $22.85 a day storage, and a $22.85 impound fee for securing the vehicle (tarping windows, inventorying property). Payment accepted includes cash, credit, and debit, as Texas law requires.
A provision worth knowing before you panic about cost: if the registered owner shows up while the vehicle is still being hooked up but before the truck leaves, they can get it back immediately with no fee. If it's already hooked up and ready to roll but hasn't left the property, a capped $135 drop fee gets it back instead. And regardless of the fee dispute, you're always legally entitled to access the vehicle for free to grab wallets, medication, or ownership documents.
No secondary impound lot exists for Roberts County — if the car isn't at Bob Douthit Auto, the arresting agency (usually DPS) has to be contacted directly to trace where it ended up.
