If drivers are doing releases at the VSF, they need the dual driver/VSF license to be legal. Drivers doing releases have to accept payment at the location where the vehicle is stored.
Thank you,
Southwest Tow Operators
Changes to the Vehicle Towing and Booting Law
The bill also changes the Contents of Notice (Section 2308.455(5)). A VSF is not required to include the name, address, and telephone number of every justice court in the county from which the vehicle was towed or booted. This information must be included in the Notice to Vehicle Owner or Operator and to the owner upon release of the vehicle.
The Notice to Vehicle Owner or Operator may list all the justice courts in the county OR provide the internet website maintained by the Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial System. The internet address for a list of courts is: http://card.txcourts.gov/DirectorySearch.aspx
The ammendments to Chapter 2308 became effective June 14, 2013.
