Looks like Mayor Tom's made good on his threat to go after Lone Star Auto Services Inc. This just in from Dallas City Hall, concerning the towing company that had those cars hauled from the parking lot during the great State Fair of Texas:

Please see that attached letter which was delivered to Lone Star Auto Services, Inc. this morning. The Transportation Regulation Division of the Public Works and Transportation Department of the City of Dallas has revoked Lone Star's vehicle tow service license for a number of violations outlined in the attached letter.
