Private Property

Private property towing. Done by the book.

Managing a parking lot is harder than it looks. The rules are strict: the Texas Towing and Booting Act (Occupations Code Chapter 2308) governs every step from signage to dispatch to notice, and the trade is licensed by TDLR. We work with property managers, HOAs, retail landlords, and apartment complexes across the Coastal Bend to enforce parking rules cleanly - no rogue tows, no liability headaches, no customer-facing surprises.

What do drivers ask about Private Property?

Is private property towing legal in Texas?

Yes, when done right. The Texas Towing and Booting Act (Occupations Code Chapter 2308) requires a written agreement between property owner and tow company, state-compliant signage at every entry, specific notice and wait rules, and TDLR-regulated release procedures. We handle all of it in writing.

Do you work with HOAs?

Yes. HOAs are our most common private-property client. We audit the existing signage, update the parking rules with the board, and set a patrol schedule that fits the community. Board members do not make the call - our dispatchers do, per the agreed rules. That keeps the board out of personal liability.

Can I call to tow a specific car in my lot?

If there is a signed property management agreement, yes. The property manager (or a designated contact) calls dispatch, confirms the vehicle and the violation, and we respond. Without an agreement on file, we cannot legally tow from a property we do not patrol.

What if a resident forgets their permit and gets towed?

They pay the release fee at the CCPD Police Auto Pound (5485 Greenwood Dr, (361) 857-1996) and get the car back, with full paperwork. It is rare - we only tow after the notice rules and sign check. If a resident calls in a good-faith mistake (permit in glove box, etc.), we handle releases professionally and document the situation. Property managers can also preauthorize per-vehicle exceptions.

Is there a cost to the property?

No. Our private property enforcement service is free to the property. Vehicle owners pay release fees when they retrieve the car, which covers our cost. Some specialty services (overnight patrol, enforcement lockdown during events) are priced separately.

Broke down on SPID at 1 a.m. Dispatcher answered on the first ring, gave me a real ETA, and the flatbed showed up 35 minutes later. Driver walked me through the load and I was home by 3. Exactly what I needed.

24/7 Emergency Towing Corpus Christi

Our 26-foot rental truck died on the port route during a move. Called three companies; Quick Tow was the only one who picked up. Heavy wrecker was onsite in under an hour and they dropped the truck exactly where we needed.

Heavy-Duty Towing Robstown

Got my car stuck deep in the sand out on Padre. They rolled up with a low-clearance flatbed, knew exactly how to winch it out without tearing anything up, and loaded with soft straps. No drama, no scratches, no nonsense.
