The TDLR regulates drug and alcohol testing programs for licensed tow truck drivers. They also regulate employees of vehicle storage facilities and boot operators. The Texas legislature is a deterrence against substance abuse in these industries.
It's an honor for TDLR to recognize us to help extend their safety program to the public.
