Unlicensed Bandit Tow Trucks - Report Them to 911


The public is urged to report unlicensed tow trucks that cause undue financial harm, by charging outrageous fees and stealing credit card numbers during the payment process.

All tow trucks will have a license plate that says "Tow Truck", something this bandit tow truck fails to display.

Should you observe a truck with this type of towing device (wheel-lift) operating on the roadway attached to a vehicle, call 911 to report an unlicensed tow truck. Get as much information of the truck, including make, color and the license plate number.

You are also urged to email any photos or video to enforcement@tdlr.texas.gov.
