Falfurrias is the Brooks County seat, sitting at the intersection of US-281 and SH-285 about 78 miles southwest of Corpus Christi. Edward Lasater founded the town in 1904, brought in Jersey cattle, built a creamery in 1909, and made Falfurrias butter a name known across Texas. The dairy's gone but the identity stuck. The town still calls itself the Land of Heart's Delight. Brooks County is one of the lowest-income counties in Texas, and 92.6% of Falfurrias residents are Hispanic. Spanish is not the second language here. It's the first. The US-281 Falfurrias Border Patrol Checkpoint is 13 miles south of town, a three-lane facility that opened in 1994 and was expanded in 2019 with new X-ray equipment. About 10,500 vehicles pass through daily, and around 2,500 of them are commercial 18-wheelers. Every northbound truck gets inspected: brake lines, tires, weight, paperwork. A truck with a defect that makes it through the checkpoint but can't hold speed heading north has nowhere to go. Falfurrias has no heavy-duty truck repair, and the nearest real yard is in Alice or south Corpus. We've run down US-281 to pull commercial rigs off the shoulder before, and we'll do it again. SH-285 heads east from Falfurrias 33 miles to Riviera and US-77. There's nothing on that road between the two endpoints: no fuel, no mechanic, no cell tower you can count on. A driver who takes SH-285 and has engine trouble halfway across is calling from the middle of South Texas brush country. We know that route.

Can a Tesla be towed in Corpus Christi?
Yes. Teslas move across the Coastal Bend, every model, on flatbed only.
