You can start and complete your Lone Star Wheels car donation in Houston today. If you call before noon on a weekday, we can usually schedule same-day pickup across most of Greater Houston. Call now or start our secure 2-minute form, and a live coordinator from Heritage for the Blind will confirm your details, lock in your tow time, and get your car off your driveway as fast as today or tomorrow.
Here’s how it works in Houston: you either call or fill out the quick online form. A coordinator (available Monday through Saturday) will review your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Midtown, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, Cypress, Pasadena, or up near Humble and Kingwood. We arrange free towing, including flatbed service for non-running cars. No inspection or repairs are needed. After your vehicle is sold, you receive a written tax receipt—typically within 30 days—which meets IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations valued over $500. Your donation benefits Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) serving people who are blind or visually impaired, while you clear your space fast and lock in valuable tax benefits.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in most of Greater Houston
Weekday calls before noon often qualify for same-day towing in major Houston areas like Downtown, Galleria, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, and The Woodlands. Otherwise, we schedule for the very next business day whenever possible.
2-minute start from your phone or computer
The donation process begins with a simple, secure 2-minute form or a quick call. Share just the essentials and a live coordinator takes it from there, so you’re not stuck in long paperwork or back-and-forth emails.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch
Coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to set up your pickup, answer timing questions, and confirm your tow window. That flexibility helps you donate quickly, even around busy Houston work and traffic schedules.

No inspection or prep needed
You don’t need to clean the car, get it inspected, or meet any special condition standards. As long as we can access it safely, we’ll tow it at no cost, saving you time and letting you donate immediately.
