What is private property tow like in Encino, TX?
Encino has 109 people, a southbound weigh station on US-281, and zero local towing for 18 miles in either direction.
Encino is 18 miles south of Falfurrias on US-281, a census-designated place with 109 residents and no commercial services. The name goes back to an 1832 Mexican land grant, La Encantada y Encina del Pozo, meaning the enchanted place and live oak in a hole, named for an oak tree where cattle rested in a natural depression. The railroad came through in 1904, the post office opened in 1914, and the population has dropped every decade since. Today Encino is a ranch-country dot on a major highway. The southbound Encino CMV Station is the weigh station and the most commercially significant thing in town. It sits on US-281 South and checks commercial motor vehicles heading toward the Valley. A truck that fails inspection here gets sidelined in one of the most remote stretches of US-281 in Texas. Heading north, the nearest heavy-duty tow or repair is Falfurrias, then Alice, then Corpus Christi. Heading south, it's Mission or McAllen, nearly 50 miles of brush country before real commercial services appear. A rig pulled out of service at this weigh station needs someone who can make the drive. The Falfurrias checkpoint is about 5 miles north of Encino, which puts the stretch between the checkpoint and the weigh station among the highest-enforcement segments on all of US-281. Trucks deal with the checkpoint northbound and the weigh station southbound. When something breaks down in that corridor, there's no local answer. La mayoría de los residentes en Encino y a lo largo del US-281 en este tramo son hispanos. Si necesita una grúa y prefiere hablar en español, llámenos directamente al (361) 967-8088.

Is private property towing legal in Texas?
Yes, when done right. The Texas Towing and Booting Act (Occupations Code Chapter 2308) requires a written agreement between property owner and tow company, state-compliant signage at every entry, specific notice and wait rules, and TDLR-regulated release procedures. The agreement is between the property and the licensed tow company, in writing.
Do HOAs use this?
Yes. HOAs are the most common private-property caller. The operator audits the existing signage, updates the parking rules with the board, and sets a patrol schedule that fits the community. Board members do not make the tow call - the tow company does, per the agreed rules. That keeps the board out of personal liability.
