Car Lockout in Houston: what to expect

Lockouts happen everywhere, but we hear about them most from lots and garages around William P. Hobby Airport and NRG Stadium and from busy streets in Westchase, Memorial and Kingwood.

If a child or pet is locked inside, call 911 first.

Common lockout spots in Houston

• William P. Hobby AirportShare the lot name, the level and which entrance is closest; it saves the Houston driver several minutes.
• NRG StadiumLot, level and nearest door is all we need to find your car fast.
• I-610 West Loop at the GalleriaStop-and-go traffic, tight merges and frequent stalls. Tell us whether you are inside or outside the Loop and the nearest exit.
• I-10 and I-610 interchangeOne of the busiest interchanges in the state. Flats and overheating are common during summer rush hour.

Houston conditions that cause lockouts

Houston heat and humidity drain batteries and push engines to overheat from May through September.

Tropical storms and sudden downpours flood streets and underpasses quickly. Hurricane season runs June through November, and flood-damaged cars often need a flatbed rather than a jump.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo fills NRG Park for about three weeks every spring, and Astros, Texans and Rockets games bring heavy traffic downtown and along SH-288.
