The Texas Department of Transportation announced in a Nov. 8 news release that the Harris County Toll Road Authority will take over management of the billing and customer services operations for all toll roads in the Houston and Austin regions.On Nov. 6, TxDOT officials approved a new toll services agreement with HCTRA to manage toll collections for the Houston and Austin areas, ending the longstanding TxTag service provided through the state for those areas.
Established in 2006, TxTag was the toll service operated by TxDOT for collections on toll roads across the state; the service expanded to also support drivers on toll roads in Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Current holders of a TxTag will still be able to use the tag on all toll roads; however, all TxTag accounts will be switched to EZ Tag accounts by Dec. 2, according to TxDOT. EZ Tags are used by HCTRA for collections, and anyone who does not have an existing TxTag in good standing will have to register to get an EZ Tag through HCTRA.
