Friend of mine came over and parked in a tow away area. I called the towing company but wasn't exactly sure on the situation... Didn't know if yall had any information I needed before we head over there.

I heard from a girl that used to work at a towing company to never sign the paperwork releasing the car to you, cause if anything is messed up then their free fr liability. Supposedly they have to give you your car back within 24 hours if you pay.

No idea of ots true.

How is the tow away zone marked?

State Law requires a tow away zone to be marked a specific way:

brightly painted and is conspicuously and legibly marked with the warning "TOW AWAY ZONE" in contrasting letters at least three inches tall

When arriving at a vehicle storage facility to pickup your vehicle, read and follow the following at: http://texastowingcompliance.com/VSF.html

It's a somewhat interesting situation. The area they were parked in...

1) Was promised to be a parking space when the structure was built, but they later told us that promise was to be broken.

2) The driveway access has a sign, but I haven't checked if it is a legal sign (yet).

3) There is an area in that driveway access that is striped and marked as TOW AWAY ZONE in proper lettering, but the area the vehicle was parked in was NOT in that marked area.

Some dewshy tow company jacked a friend's truck back in approximately 03-04 at a complex in CSAT at that was parked in a future resident parking space at 1AM. It was something like $140 then. I was real pissed, since we were technically in a visitor parking space. They are all scumbags and extortionist in that town.

How can the tow driver predict what's going to happen in the future?

Sounds like the scumbags are the apartment complex.

What recourse do you have? Once your car had been stolen it's pretty hard to argue who was right.

Yeah he hasn't been a tow truck driver in over two years, nor did he work for Excel, but keep on bringing up old **** like FNG.
