Local heads-up

Monsoon storms from July to September can flood low spots fast, and spring dust cuts visibility on I-10.

Towing in Anthony (NM): roads, rules and where the car goes

Breakdowns in Anthony NM cluster on I-10 near the New Mexico Welcome Center at Mile Marker 164 westbound and along Desert Boulevard, the frontage road where trucks stage. NM-404 through the Anthony Gap is a two-lane desert road with no services, so a breakdown there leaves you exposed. The residential grid off I-10 is mostly single-family homes, and during pecan harvest in October and November, farm equipment shares the local roads.

Anthony NM is in Doña Ana County and follows the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Code and 18.3.12 NMAC, not Texas TDLR rules. City police handle accident calls within the city limits. The state line is the dividing line: a breakdown near the Texas welcome center versus the NM welcome center at MM 164 triggers different jurisdiction, impound rules and tow rotation lists. New Mexico has no published dollar figure for towing or storage, so call the agency or lot that handled the tow. A car towed into Texas might end up at the City of El Paso Vehicle Storage Facility at 11615 Railroad Drive, (915) 212-0205, open 24 hours.

Tell the operator which state you are in, Anthony NM or Anthony TX, and give the nearest mile marker or cross street. A pin drop helps on remote desert stretches where cross streets are sparse. Watch for flash flooding in monsoon season, dust and wind in spring, and heat that shortens battery life. If your car is stored, bring photo ID and proof of ownership like registration, insurance card or title, plus payment. Call the lot before you drive out to confirm the vehicle is there.
