	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the release of a vehicle held by a vehicle storage
	facility.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 2308.458, Occupations Code, is amended
	by adding Subsection (f) to read as follows:
	(f) The court may issue an order of release directing a
	vehicle storage facility to immediately release the vehicle to the
	owner of the vehicle or a booting company to immediately remove a

	order described by this subsection was issued has not complied with
	the order, the court may issue an order directing the person to
	appear on a designated date and show cause why the person should not
	be held in contempt of court. If the court then finds that the
	person directly or indirectly disobeyed the order of release, the
	court may find the person in contempt of court and impose a
	punishment under Section 21.002(c), Government Code.
	SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013.
