First off the new law's that went into effect last year and administered by the Texas Department of Licencing and Regulations, section 2308.253 deal's with tow's from apartment parking lots. (3)state's that 10 days notice must be given "in person" or sent "certified mail", before a vehicle is towed, it was not.

When I requested a hearing, before a JP I was told, by the JP "that law did not apply to me because I did not live there". So you've got towing companies stealing vehicle's, and JP's letting them get away with it.
