SB 1175 establishes a biennial adjustment of towing fees for private property tows, linking maximum charge amounts to the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) will adjust towing fees and related charges every two years based on inflation. The bill also requires towing companies to implement decreases in fees immediately if a CPI-based reduction occurs, while allowing them to raise fees on or after the effective date of an increase. This measure ensures that towing fees remain reasonable and aligned with economic conditions​.
