VSF-013 is TDLR’s Personal Vehicle Owner Removal and Inspection form. It is one of the documents a Texas vehicle storage facility may accept when you recover a car. It is not a police-hold waiver, and it is not a substitute for paying the bill. Download the current PDF from TDLR, fill it, and ask the Corpus Christi-area yard whether it wants that form on your file.

Quick Tow Corpus Christi does not issue VSF forms and does not operate a storage lot. We connect callers with licensed operators after a yard releases a vehicle.

Where the form lives, and what it is for

TDLR’s consumer page says you prove ownership or permission with any one item from its list. That list includes “the TDLR form that you can download, print and fill out”: the Personal Vehicle Owner Removal and Inspection form (VSF-013). For commercial vehicles the matching form is VSF-012. The storage facility must also make those forms available to you (TDLR Consumer Information).

Use VSF-013 for a personal vehicle. Use VSF-012 for a commercial one. Do not mix them. Print the file from TDLR, not from a random blog scan. If a yard hands you its own packet, compare it to the TDLR original.

VSF-013 is a removal and inspection authorization. It sits next to other proofs on the same list: matching driver’s license, insurance card, title, notarized power of attorney, tax-collector receipt plus registration renewal, or a current lease. You still bring photo ID. You still pay.

When this form is the right tool

People look for a “VSF form” when the title is not in the car, the registered owner cannot appear, or the lot asked for TDLR paperwork by name. If you simply need the registered-owner walkthrough at Greenwood Drive, use how to get a car out of the CCPD impound. If the title itself is the missing piece, use impound without a title.

Find the yard first. A private property tow from an apartment or a business lot goes to that operator’s VSF, not automatically to the police pound. If you do not know the fence, start with which lot has my car.

Call that office and ask three things: whether VSF-013 is accepted for your VIN, whether it must be notarized for their file, and whether a hold is on the vehicle. Write down the answer.

Fees and access while you fill it out

TDLR’s adjusted daily storage is $22.85 for vehicles 25 feet or less and $39.99 for longer vehicles. A notification fee can run up to $50 unless you reclaim the car within 24 hours or before notice is sent. Statewide private-property nonconsent tow caps are $272, $380, and $489 by weight class. Ask the yard for the itemized total. Do not treat a blog as an invoice.

You may access the car at the VSF to retrieve ownership documents and personal property without a fee. You may not take the car without paying allowed charges.

After the form is accepted

If the car will not start, call (361) 967-8088. The independent operator who takes the job quotes before rolling. Our published light-duty hookup starts at $125 for the first 5 miles. That is this site’s published rate, not a storage fee.
