Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
Car tow
My car was towed from a private lot claiming that I did not pay to park. My claim is that I did pay. This lot does not provide receipts. Customers can only insert their money in the slot for the spot they are parking in. Do I have a right to consult with an attorney if I feel I was unfairly towed? What type of lawer would I consult with?

Re: Car tow
Of course you can consult a lawyer. Be up front about costs and how much it cost to get your car back.
The cheapest thing may be to chalk it up to experience.
In the future if the lot does not provide receipts, pay with a check.
Re: Car tow
You certainly have the right to consult an attorney. Ask around for an attorney interested in your case. That could be the right one to talk to. As always be careful about spending your money on pie-in-the-sky promises.
Re: Car tow
Contact TxDOT motor carrier division and explain that you want to challenge the tow. They will explain the process. Take digital photos of all signs at the lot and the place where your towed car was taken; the former is supposed to have a sign explaining your rights or give you the equivalent with your other paperwork. There is a time limit to challenge the tow. An attorney should be used to sue if necessary.
