DFW apartment tow companies: which complex uses which tow company
Listing sites won't tell you which tow company patrols an apartment complex - it lives on the entrance sign and in the lease. We collect it from renters and property managers so you can check before you sign. Reported by residents; verified by property managers where possible.

How apartment towing works in Texas
A tow company can only patrol and tow on an apartment lot if the property signed a standing written tow-authorization agreement with them (Texas Occupations Code §2308.255). So "tow-happy" behavior is a choice the complex made, not something the tow company does on its own. Texas also prohibits the tow company and the property from paying each other for tow business (§§2308.401-.402) - though the incentive often gets restructured (e.g. the tow company owning the guest-registration app).
What a legal tow can cost (standard vehicle)
- Tow: up to about $272
- Storage: about $22.85/day
- Notification: up to $50
- Drop fee (if you catch it before it leaves): up to $135
You have 14 business days to dispute a tow at a Justice of the Peace court in the county where it was towed (filing fee about $20).
