Abandoned/Unserviceable Vehicles and Why They're a Violation
The Rhome City Ordinance describes an unserviceable vehicle as any vehicle that is required to be licensed and registered by the State of Texas and does not have attached to it a current license plate, valid motor vehicle inspection sticker, or is in such condition that it cannot be moved under its own power without repair. Junk vehicles are prohibited by City Ordinance and the State Transportation Code. These vehicles create an attractive nuisance to children by presenting an enticing, but dangerous, plaything. There are several documented incidents of children becoming locked inside a vehicle and succumbing to the extreme temperatures produced within the vehicle. Derelict vehicles typically leak fluids such as anti-freeze, gasoline and other automotive fluids onto the ground, contaminating the local area. Inoperative vehicles also detract from neighborhoods appearance and invite an undesirable element into the community. To have an abandoned or junk vehicle removed from your property, call Garry Howard Towing Service at (940) 627-2852.
