![]() I think the police turn a blind eye to the eye to the EZPASS(it may be legal now). In VA the only legal items on your windshield is the inspection sticker. We were just glad we were able to sign up and pay before we exited the toll road, as I would guess the cost would have higher. ![]() Just glancing over the material we received with the transponders, we dont see a way to get a refund, but since we only have a couple of dollars on the account, we are not worried about a refund. ![]() If you don't need to set up an account for each system that seems to say they all share a database and a single pass for all roads could be created.ĭoes anyone know any answers from experience?Įvidently, the system used our license plates to charge us properly, however, we did get transponders in the mail to be attached to the windshield of both vehicles. This now brings up the question if you don't need anything on the windshield Would the account be valid on other toll roads or would you need an account for each toll road. I use Weatherproof 3M Dual Lock fasteners, the same stuff that the EZ Pass folks give you to mount their transponders on your windsield.ĭid you close the account once through TX and get a refund for funds still in the account? Even though the transponders are of the stick-on, non-removable type, I suggest mounting them so they can be removed and wrapped in aluminum foil if the toad is being towed. Going around Houston on the Sam Houston Tollway we have been charged for 3,4, and 5 axles all on the same trip. Officially, the story is that the system can tell that the toad follows the main vehicle too closely to be a separate charge, but it doesn't always work. One thing that we have found is that TX toll booths are not always accurate if you leave a transponder on the toad. We have the Harris County EZ Tag (Houston area). There are several entities that issue them in TX they are reciprocal with each other. If you want to take advantage of the lower tolls and "no handling" charges, you need a transponder on the windshield. We didnt figure this out until we were already on the toll road, but my wife was able to get online and start an account, add both our motorhome and toad license plate numbers, and add money before we got off the toll road, so, so far we havent received any bills for extra charges.ĭon't you need something on your windshield for the system to work? When passing through Houston a few weeks ago we got on a toll road that only took electronic payments. A $5 fee per toll charge would add up fast. Anyone know why TX has so many toll systems? Most states have gone with one, East coast to the Mississippi seems to be mostly EZPASS. I thought they did but I guess things changed. I guess TX doesn't have pay by license plate on their toll roads without extra fees($$). Drivers who fail to pay violation notices on time are subject to collection fees and court fines that can add up to $350 per violation. If you do not have a prepaid tag - or do not have enough money in your toll account to cover the cost of your tolls - you will receive a Notice of Toll Violation with a $5.00 fee for each toll charge. The only way to pay tolls on the Grand Parkway is with a TxTag, EZ TAG, TollTag, METRO HOT Lanes Toll Tag, or K-TAG (Kansas Turnpike Authority). What happens if I don't have a tag to pay tolls?
