House Author:  Guillen

Effective:  6-14-13

            House Bill 338 amends the Occupations Code to require a hearing relating to a towed motor vehicle to be in any justice court in the county, rather than the precinct, from which a vehicle was towed.  For booted vehicles, the bill requires such a hearing to be in the county, rather than the precinct, in which the parking facility is located.  The bill revises the contents of a notice that must be provided to the vehicle's owner upon payment to retrieve the vehicle or remove the boot, as appropriate.
