Southwest Tow Operators was founded in 2007 to provide all the Tow Operators of Texas with a voice in the industry. Since then we have become the largest towing association in Texas. We have proven that strength in numbers creates amazing results not only with tow companies and storage facilities, but also for the employees of those companies. Pride and professionalism, a creed we thrive on with our members, big or small. Working closely with state regulators, we help set the standards for our industry in Texas.
In 2008 TDLR required all Tow Operators to be Certified. Southwest Tow Operators tested over 96% of the towers in Texas. Southwest Tow Operators provided numerous testing locations all over the State of Texas and was the first to offer the Certification Testing in both English and Spanish. TDLR also required that Tow Operators take their Continuing Education each year. Southwest Tow Operators has several locations throughout Texas to accommodate these requirements.
Southwest Tow Operators is a Non Profit 501c (6) Association. Individual payments may be deposited into the Southwest Tow Operators Political Action Committee account
