Texas SB857 amends the authorized removal of certain motor vehicles by peace officers and inspectors.

Texas SB857 amends the Texas Transportation Code to specify when peace officers and license and weight inspectors can remove or require the movement of vehicles. This includes vehicles obstructing traffic on bridges, viaducts, or in tunnels, unlawfully parked and blocking private driveways, reported stolen, or identified as stolen due to emergencies. It also covers vehicles left unattended for over 48 hours, disabled vehicles where the owner is incapacitated or absent, and vehicles operated by individuals arrested for certain offenses or in violation of specific laws.
