Police and city tows go to a network of licensed private Vehicle Storage Facilities (VSFs); look a vehicle up at findmytowedcar.com (city tows) or findmytowedcar.org/harriscountytow (unincorporated Harris County tows), or call the HPD Towline at (713) 308-8580. - Houston Tow and Go (houstontx.gov/towandgo) gives a free tow of a stalled or disabled vehicle to a safe spot off a Houston freeway, plus a flat-tire change with a working spare. It excludes tollways and the Katy Freeway HOT lanes and must be authorized by law enforcement or Houston TranStar. - Major corridors: I-10 (Katy Freeway), I-45 (Gulf/North Freeway, Houston's deadliest), Loop 610, Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway), US-290, SH 288, and the Grand Parkway (SH 99). - The Port of Houston and the Baytown/Pasadena/Deer Park refinery and petrochemical complex drive heavy-duty and 18-wheeler towing demand. - Hurricane season (June-November) strands vehicles in flooded streets and bayou overflow; a flood-damaged vehicle needs a salvage or nonrepairable title under Texas Transportation Code §501.097 before it can be resold. - Texas towing is regulated by TDLR (state license, non-consent fee caps) plus City of Houston Municipal Code §8-123 (the city's own non-consent tow rate).
