If you think you see only one towing company here,you’re only half right. Because in actuality, Bay*HoustonTowing is the product of two companies, Bay Towing andHouston Towing, who merged in 1948 to form the largestand most capable harbor fleet in the Texas area.

So when it comes to the question of which towingcompany is better, the answer is easy. The one towingcompany that’s really two-- Bay-Houston TowingCompany.
