Texas towing companies and storage facilities must be licensed.
The maximum tow charge allowed by Texas state law is $250.
Check to see if the company that removed your vehicle holds a valid license by searching for them here: www.license.state.tx.us/tools_search

Request a tow hearing in small claims (or municipal) court [find out which court applies in your situation by asking the police] within 14 days of the tow.
The court will hold a hearing within 21 days of filing.
If your car was towed illegally, the operator is not licensed or the license is invalid or expired, you might not have to pay for tow or storage fees.
Storage facilities are required to post their fees and comply with other laws or face penalties listed here: www.license.state.tx.us/enforcement/vsfsanctions.htm
