When a towed vehicle detaches or the tow truck creates a hazard on the roadway, the operator and the towing company can be held liable. Evidence of licensing violations, inadequate equipment maintenance, or failure to follow proper securing procedures strengthens liability arguments.
Relevant Texas Law

Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2308 regulates towing companies and operators, establishing licensing, insurance, and operational requirements. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation oversees tow truck operator permits and enforces compliance.
