re: Toll violators are out of control in Texas

It was proposed to deny their car registration (or drivers license renewal?) but there were questions about an entity like the tollway authorities (like North Texas Tollway Authority) or private companies that leased the facilities (like the Spanish with the Austin bypass) having that power, so it didn't happen.

Red-light cameras... similar. The Legislature allowed cities to deny auto registration, but the counties that handle registration didn't want to play because they didn't think it was worth their time (not enough $$$).
