What is private property tow like in Refugio, TX?
US-77 meets SH-35 at Refugio, a four-direction crossroads for towing calls, day and night.
Refugio is where US-77 and SH-35 cross, and that junction is the defining fact of its towing profile. Northbound US-77 traffic coming from Kingsville and the Valley splits here: trucks and cars heading to Sinton and Corpus Christi continue north; coastal-bound traffic pivots east on SH-35 toward Rockport and Aransas Pass. Both routes pass through a small city with no bypass. Any breakdown or collision near that junction involves two state highways simultaneously. Oilfield tankers run US-77. Coastal tourists run SH-35. They converge here. Hurricane Harvey made landfall at Rockport on August 25, 2017, and Refugio was directly in its path. Wind speeds hit 130 mph when the storm passed over. Trees and power poles came down across town, including high-tension lines. Roofs came off homes and businesses. A motel lost its roof entirely. Several mobile homes were destroyed. The Mission River flooded to moderate levels and Copano Creek flooded near town. FEMA recovery projects in Refugio County were still delayed as of 2024. When the next system tracks up the coast, Refugio sits in the same risk zone, flood-stalled vehicles, debris on US-77, and a highway recovery demand that local tow capacity can't always meet. Refugio is also the birthplace of Nolan Ryan, the last Spanish mission founded in Texas was built here on the Mission River in 1795, and the Refugio Bobcats football program has won three state championships since 2011, home game weekends pull visiting fans onto both US-77 and SH-35, and late-night drives home after those games on rural two-lane highways generate their own tow calls. Call (361) 967-8088 any hour for a breakdown at or near the US-77 and SH-35 crossroads. Both corridors are covered from this junction.

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.
