Frequently Asked Questions
There's no county impound lot in Webb County. Laredo police and the Sheriff use a rotating list of private storage yards, so your first step is to call the arresting agency's non-emergency line, Laredo Police Records at 956-795-2815, with your plate or VIN to find out which yard has the car.
What you need to get it out
A valid state or federal photo ID, payment of all fees, and an instrument of ownership, meaning the title, registration, a lease agreement, or a notarized power of attorney. Two things worth knowing here, given Laredo's location: a Mexican matrícula consular or a Mexican passport is a valid ID for retrieving an impounded vehicle, and if the registered owner is out of state, an out-of-state notarization is legally valid and the yard has to accept it regardless of how the form looks.
What it costs
A light-duty tow is capped at $272, storage is $22.85 a day for a vehicle under 25 feet, and there's a one-time $50 notification fee. If the car is on the lot for under 12 hours total, they can only charge one day of storage even if it spans two calendar dates. Yards sometimes get this wrong, so check the math.
The yard must accept at least one form of electronic payment. And it cannot demand proof of insurance to release the car; that practice is illegal. If you have valid ID, proof of ownership, and the fees, they have to hand it over.
Fighting the tow
If you think the tow lacked legal authority or the fees went over the state caps, you can request a tow hearing. File within 14 days of the tow at any Webb County Justice of the Peace court, such as Precinct 4 at 8501 San Dario. Budget for the cost: the filing fee is about $54, plus another $80 to $100 to serve the storage facility, so roughly $134 to $154 total. At the hearing, the agency that ordered the tow has to prove it was lawful.
