About San Marcos
San Marcos is a Hays County city about 30 miles southwest of Austin on I-35, home to Texas State University, the spring-fed San Marcos River and two large outlet centers. Traffic pulses with the school calendar, outlet shoppers and river tubers.

Moving through San Marcos: I-35, Hopkins St and the river
San Marcos is a Hays County college town split by I-35, with the university and the courthouse square on the west side and big outlet centers along the interstate. Hopkins St (SH-80) and SH-123 carry local traffic through downtown, while Aquarena Springs Dr and RR 12 lead toward the river and the Hill Country.
Several low-water crossings and creek dips around town can flood quickly during storms. When water covers the road, back up and choose another route. Even a shallow stretch can stall an engine or carry a small car sideways.
School calendar, outlet weekends and river days
Traffic here follows a rhythm. Move-in week, football Saturdays and graduation flood the streets near campus, and parked cars may sit untouched for days before trouble shows up. On outlet weekends, Wonder World Dr and the interstate frontage roads crawl, and summer river trips send crowds down Aquarena Springs Dr.
On those busy days, tell dispatch if a street is closed or a lot is packed. We can then pick a handoff spot nearby instead of circling a blocked road.
Easy places to meet us around town
If something fails on the interstate, coast to the right shoulder, put your flashers on and stay belted in until help appears. In town, a wide lot at a shopping center off Wonder World Dr, a quiet block near the Square or a spot beside a park is far safer than a travel lane on Hopkins St.
Give us the cross street, the nearest business and your direction of travel. If a tow turns out to be the better answer, we help you line one up.
