![]() ![]() TxDOT has not responded to questions submitted midday Monday. EZ Tag users have not been warned of the pending charges, which would apply only to any unbilled trips along the Grand Parkway. Officials warned TxTag holders of the flurry of charges last week, noting some frequent users could see repeated replenishments of their toll balances charged to credit or debit cards. That could add thousands more local drivers that could be affected. The billing issue could extend to EZTag customers with accounts with the Harris County Toll Road Authority who use the Grand Parkway, which is maintained by TxDOT. They now are catching up on both assessing charges to existing accounts, and sending out invoices to drivers who owe tolls from the winter. While the systems on the roads were taking in the tolls, officials said the billing stopped. TxTag users, the toll tags issued by the Texas Department of Transportation, stopped being charged for tolls in mid-October, as the state transitioned to an IBM subsidiary for all its billing systems. More than 2.2 million toll road users in Texas should take a look at their credit cards or bank statements closely, as a backlog related to changing billing systems is poised to cause some surprises.
