In short, the decision to impound the car and to have it towed to a safer place was well founded. The officers had no duty to attempt to contact a member of appellant's family before they assumed control over it. Evers v. State, supra; Wallis v. State, 636 S.W.2d 1, 2 (Tex.App. — Dallas 1982, no pet.). The written policy of the Department of Public Safety does not alter this conclusion. It provides:
An inventory search of an automobile is proper when impoundment of the vehicle is lawful. Wallis v. State, 636 S.W.2d 1, 2 (Tex.App. — Dallas 1982, no pet.). Impoundment of a vehicle is lawful incident to its removal from the scene of an accident.
