How to Pay

TxTag makes paying tolls on Central Texas toll roads simple and fast. There's no stopping or slowing down to pay, no waiting in line at a toll booth and no searching for change. Devices above the toll road send a signal to the microchip inside the electronic TxTag sticker, and the toll is automatically deducted from your prepaid TxTag account. Plus, drivers with a TxTag receive a 10% discount on tolls in Central Texas.

TxTag is accepted on toll roads statewide. You can get your TxTag online or by phone at 1-888-468-9824.

The Dallas/Fort Worth area TollTag and Houston EZ TAG are also accepted on Austin area toll roads.

No toll tag? No problem. Drivers without an electronic toll tag are also welcome to use the express lanes on Austin area toll roads. When a driver does not stop to pay at a toll booth, cameras above the toll lanes will photograph the license plate, and the vehicle owner will receive a monthly bill for toll charges. We call it "Pay By Mail."

The Pay By Mail toll rates are one-third more than TxTag rates to offset the costs related to processing the license plate information. Also, a $1.15 fee is applied to each monthly bill for non-tag customers.

Austin drivers also have the option to pay with cash at a toll booth or coin machine.
