Breaking Down in Fulshear — First 5 Minutes

Fulshear, TX has transformed from a small town into one of the fastest-growing communities in Fort Bend County. FM 1093, the Grand Parkway TX-99, and the Westpark Tollway carry thousands of Fulshear residents to and from work daily — and breakdowns happen on all three corridors regularly.

Whether your vehicle stops on a busy stretch of FM 1093 near Cross Creek Ranch or on the Grand Parkway during morning rush hour, the first five minutes after a breakdown are the most important for your safety. Here is exactly what to do.

1

Activate Hazard Lights Immediately

The moment your vehicle loses power or you realize you need to pull over, turn on your hazard lights. This alerts every driver behind you before you have even slowed down.

2

Move Off FM 1093 or the Grand Parkway

If your vehicle is still moving, guide it completely onto the right shoulder or — better still — take the next available exit or side street. FM 1093 has access roads on sections near Fulshear that give you a safer place to stop.

3

Stay Buckled Inside Your Vehicle

Once stopped on a shoulder, stay inside your vehicle with your seatbelt fastened. FM 1093 and the Grand Parkway carry fast-moving traffic. Standing outside on the shoulder is significantly more dangerous than remaining in your car.

4

Call a Tow Company — Get a Price First

Call a towing company directly. Before they dispatch, confirm the total cost. A reputable company will quote you before sending a truck. If they refuse to give a price, call someone else.

5

Share Your Location

Text your exact location to someone you trust. Note the road name, direction, and the nearest cross street or landmark. If your phone has GPS sharing, activate it so your contact can monitor your location.

FM 1093 Construction Zones — Extra Caution

Active construction on FM 1093 near Fulshear means lane configurations change frequently. If you break down in or near a construction zone, pull as far off the active lane as possible and call for a tow immediately. Construction zone breakdowns are treated as high-priority calls by our dispatch.

EVs Break Down in Fulshear Too — Know the Difference

Fulshear has one of the highest concentrations of electric vehicles in Fort Bend County — Teslas, Porsche Taycans, Audi e-trons, and Ford Mach-E vehicles are common on FM 1093 and the Grand Parkway. When an EV breaks down, the rules are different.

An EV with a dead 12V auxiliary battery cannot be shifted into neutral or started normally. An EV with a depleted high-voltage battery cannot be pushed — it needs to be loaded onto a flatbed using a winch or driven on under its own power. Never allow a wheel-lift tow for any EV — it can cause expensive drivetrain damage. All EVs must travel on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground.
