§ 19-400. Disposition of property left in towed vehicles.

Upon request of an individual demonstrating ownership or right to possession of a vehicle, a vehicle storage facility shall give that individual access to a vehicle in the facility and allow removal of any personal property left in the towed vehicle, unless otherwise indicated by a law enforcement officer. All such personal property must be surrendered to the property owner regardless of whether or not any or all fees associated with the towing or storage of the vehicle have been paid. "Personal property" for purposes of this section refers to property in the vehicle which is not permanently affixed to the vehicle. The vehicle storage facility must request a receipt from the person to whom the personal property is released for any such property removed from the stored vehicle. Nothing in this provision is intended to conflict with the provisions of 16 Tex. Admin. Code § 85.708
