Tourists and drivers who prefer not to use TxTag can pay their Central Texas tolls using a convenient Pay By Mail option. There's no need to prepay or register. Simply use the toll road and wait for your bill to show up in the mail.

Equipment on the expressway will take a picture of your license plate and that information will then be used to identify the registered owner of the vehicle. A bill for the tolls will then be sent to the registered owner’s address.

If you plan to use the Pay By Mail program make sure your vehicle registration and title information is up to date to avoid the possibility of not receiving your bill. Failure to pay a Toll Bill can result in additional fees and court fines. If you lease or loan your car out, be aware that under Texas law you are responsible for any tolls incurred by the driver.

Toll rates for people who Pay By Mail are higher than for drivers with a TxTag to offset the cost of processing license plate information and mailing the Toll Bill. In addition, each Toll Bill comes with a $1.00 processing charge. Depending on which toll roads you use, you may be issued separate Toll Bills.

Pay By Mail customers have 30 days to pay their bill either in person, via check, online or over the phone.
