The bill, H.B. No. 2906, amends Section 2308.404(c) of the Occupations Code to establish new civil liability standards for towing companies, booting companies, and parking facility owners who violate certain regulations. Under the new provisions, these entities will be liable to the vehicle owner or operator for a total of $1,000 plus three times the fees associated with the vehicle's removal, towing, storage, or booting. Additionally, they will be responsible for $500 for each day the vehicle owner or operator is unable to use their vehicle due to the violation, as well as any reasonable incidental costs incurred as a result of the loss of use.

The changes introduced by this bill will only apply to violations occurring on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025. Any violations that take place before this date will continue to be governed by the existing law, ensuring that the previous legal framework remains in effect for those incidents.
