The order of repossession is their authorization to enter the car. If your car is being repossessed, it means there's a lien on it, and the lienholder called for the repossession to be carried out. You don't own the car - the lienholder does, until you pay off the lienholder and they relinquish the title to you. So yes, that tow company doing the repossession has every right to enter the vehicle they're repossessing.
The legal remedy for vehicle repossession is covered by UCC laws. Regardless of where the lender is located the car can be repossessed under the laws of the state where it was purchased or where it is now located, whichever means is most advantageous to the lender.
Yes, it is a crime, if the 'secured party' (the party who orders the repossession) has demanded the car be handed over to them, then it is a crime to conceal it. You do NOT have to have been informed of anything by the repossession agent themselves. The only notification is that the secured party wants the car back. If you were to conceal the car in these circumstances, then under the Texas Penal Code, you would be 'Hindering Secured Creditors' (Section 32.33). If the car is worth less than $1500, it is a misdemeanor of varying degrees. If the car is worth $1500 or more, then it is a felony, of increasing severity for higher values.
