That angers Terri Hall, who runs Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom, which plans today to announce a boycott of the State Highway 130 toll road. "We are able to tell that it is from Mexico, that is one of our requirements, but as far as what TxDOT is able to receive from that, I'm not sure." "That's been something that has plagued us for a while," he said. The Texas Department of Transportation will refuse to re-register your car if you have outstanding toll bills on your record, but if your car is registered in Michigan or Oregon, or, more likely, Mexico, Russell says right now there is no way to force you to pay.
PAY TOLL ROAD TEXAS LICENSE
People who don't have toll tags have their license plate read by the cameras, and the registered owner of the car is mailed a bill.īut since not paying the toll is a 'civil offense' like a parking ticket, there is no criminal penalty for failing to pay the toll. Russell says the way it works is that motorists who have 'toll tags' on their windshields are detected by ultra high speed cameras as they drive down the highway, even at high speeds, and they are billed at a discounted rate. There are no toll stations or those annoying toll cards which you have to hand to the toll collector on eastern turnpikes on State Highway 130. When asked by 1200 WOAI's Michael Board if that doesn’t mean the road is free for Mexican drivers, Russell responded, "Well, yeah, absolutely, I guess, that would be the case." "There is no cross country collection mechanism yet," Project Engineering Manager Guy Russell told 1200 WOAI news. It will cost about $12 to drive the 91 miles from Interstate 10 near Seguin to I-35 north of Georgetown, or about 15 cents a mile.Īnd congratulations, the people who run the highway say you will also be paying for people from Mexico and from many other states in the U.S. They started charging you to drive on that new 85 mph State Highway 130 toll road over the weekend.
