Frequently Asked Questions
Specific impound lot information — the facility name, address, hours, and local fees — wasn't confirmed for Runnels County in this report. What's certain is the statewide framework governing any Texas DWI tow: the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation caps a light-duty tow fee at $272 and daily storage at $22.85, regardless of which lot ends up with the vehicle.
To determine exactly where a towed vehicle landed, contact the arresting agency's non-emergency dispatch line with the license plate number — the arresting officer's report is required to document which Vehicle Storage Facility received the car.
If you believe the tow itself was improper, Texas law gives you the right to request a hearing at the local Justice of the Peace court; the standard statewide deadline is 14 days from the date of the tow.
