Private Property Tow in Mathis, TX.
Private Property Tow for Mathis drivers, done by licensed Coastal Bend operators. Managing a parking lot is harder than it looks.

Why is private property tow different in the San Patricio Ring?
Enforcement here keeps tenant and customer parking open in Portland and Ingleside, plus the harbor-area lots in Aransas Pass during tourist season. Patrol, dispatch, and documentation all sit with the tow company. Fair, consistent rules that keep the property manager out of liability.
What is private property tow like in Mathis, TX?
I-37 runs right past Mathis at Exits 34 and 36, we're the call to make from the lake or the interstate.
Mathis is the only San Patricio County town sitting squarely on I-37, and that changes the nature of towing calls here. The interstate carries heavy freight between the Port of Corpus Christi and San Antonio, commercial trucks, tanker trailers, and long-haul carriers traveling at highway speeds. Exits 34 and 36 are the Mathis interchanges, with SH-359 connecting into town. A breakdown or crash on I-37 between those exits, or on the ramps themselves, is a high-stakes situation. That is covered, including big-rig and 18-wheeler recovery when the situation needs it. Lake Corpus Christi is four miles northwest of town, created in 1958 when the Wesley E. Seale Dam impounded the Nueces River. The lake covers 18,256 acres across three counties and draws fishing and boating traffic year-round, largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, and white bass bring anglers from across South Texas. Lake Corpus Christi State Park runs two boat ramps and two fishing piers off FM 1068. That traffic means a steady stream of truck-and-trailer combinations on FM 1068 every weekend. Boat-trailer ramp recoveries, a trailer that gets stuck on a wet ramp, a hitch that fails on the road home, a tow vehicle that overheats pulling uphill, are a real and recurring call in this area. Mathis runs about 89.6% Hispanic as of the 2020 census, with median household income in the low $30,000s. That combination means a lot of older vehicles, deferred maintenance, and breakdowns that wouldn't happen with newer cars. Our Spanish-speaking dispatch is a genuine advantage here, a lot of calls from Mathis addresses come in Spanish first. We answer in whatever language gets the job done.

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.
