In Texas, you can pay toll using valid toll tags, cash and video tolling (post-trip) as well. But do note that not every payment method works on all the Texas toll roads, bridges and express lanes. The toll rates also vary depending on how you are paying the toll. The preferable method is to have a toll tag as it costs the least compared to others.

Toll tags accepted in Texas

You can pay toll in Texas using the following toll tags:

  • TxTag- Issued by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)[1] that allows users to zip through the toll lanes in Texas. You can purchase TxTag and it will be good for the whole of Texas at locations where TxTag is acceptable (There are bridges on the Mexico-Texas border that only accept cash. At all other places, you can use TxTag).
  • TollTag- Similar to TxTag, this tag is issued by The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA)[2] allowing motorists to pay tolls without stopping at toll booths.
  • EZ TAG- Valid for all lanes of tolled roadways in Texas, this toll tag is issued by The Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA)[3] that accommodate electronic toll collection.
  • PikePass- Primarily used in Oklahoma, this toll tag is also valid in Texas at the same rate as TxTag. It is also called PPAss.
  • K-Tag- This is toll tag issued by the Kansas Turnpike Authority[4] and is primarily used in Kansas.
  • NationalPass- A multi-protocol tag that considers user as a local customer of the toll roads and offer similar discounts.

Toll payment with cash in Texas

On some bridges and toll roads of Texas, cash is still accepted. In our Texas Toll Calculator, it shows whether the route you enter accepts cash or not to pay the toll.

What is Pay-By-Mail and ZipCash

Pay-By-Mail and ZipCash are video tolling system of Texas. If you do not have a compatible tag in your vehicle, you will receive a bill to pay toll. The ZipCash toll and Pay By Mail tolls are higher and is only sent after a particular amount has accumulated. In addition, you may have to pay an additional fine for late payment.
