Summary

Fulshear does not license tow companies itself: its code directs that illegally parked vehicles be towed and impounded only under the state's Occupations Code Chapter 2308 towing and booting rules.

Vehicles illegally stopped, standing, or parked in violation of this division may be removed and impounded in the manner provided under V.T.C.A., Occupations Code ch. 2308. The city or its officers, agents, employees, or representatives shall not be responsible for any damage to any vehicle removed and impounded.

Full Breakdown

Under City Code § 38-125, vehicles illegally stopped, standing, or parked within Fulshear may be removed and impounded only 'in the manner provided under V.T.C.A., Occupations Code ch. 2308': the state chapter that licenses tow trucks, tow truck operators, and towing companies through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and sets the rules for consent and non-consent tows. Fulshear has no separate municipal permit or business license for towing companies; any wrecker firm operating a tow inside the city must hold a current TDLR license and follow Chapter 2308's notice, fee, and storage requirements. The city disclaims liability for any damage to vehicles it has removed and impounded.

Violations & Fines

No city license or permit exists for tow operators; TDLR enforces Chapter 2308 directly, with administrative penalties and license suspension for towing without a valid state license or violating its notice and fee rules.
