Frisco, TX Business Licensing & Operations: Towing Companies (2026)

The Frisco Police Department administers Chapter 90, Article IX of the Frisco Code of Ordinances, adopted by Ordinance 09-08-46 in 2009 to protect road safety by regulating vehicle tow services (§ 90-236). No company may provide wrecker service to the city itself without first signing a wrecker agreement (§ 90-238); once under contract, a wrecker contractor must respond to any wreck, accident, or scene the city directs it to (§ 90-240), and the police department may inspect its wreckers at any time to confirm compliance with the agreement and state law (§ 90-241). It is unlawful for a wrecker operator to chase an ambulance or patrol car to a wreck scene, or show up uninvited, unless the department dispatched the wrecker or a party to the wreck asked for it directly (§ 90-242).

For private-property, non-consent tows made under Transportation Code Chapter 684, an operator may not haul the vehicle to a storage facility more than 15 miles outside Frisco's corporate limits (§ 90-244). Within 30 minutes of towing from the lot or accepting the vehicle at the yard, the tow company and storage facility must call, fax, or hand-deliver to Frisco police a report giving the vehicle's description, license plate state and number, VIN if available, tow location, and the storage facility's name and address (§ 90-245). Repossession tows carry a separate 30-minute verbal reporting duty covering the plate number, VIN, year, make, model, color, the lienholder's contact information, the wrecker driver's license number, and where the vehicle was taken (§ 90-246); the chief of police assigns the phone line these reports must reach.
