a plate that’s not registered with the EZ Tag on your car, he’s coming after you.


So all plates need to be registered with EZ tag to drive on the tollway in Houston? Got to suck for tourists getting pulled over for that.

90% of the Sam Houston Tollway have toll booths where you can stop and pay. The other parts and other toll roads make it very very clear: “EZ TAG ONLY” and “NO PAY BY MAIL”.

I’m Harris County only, you can add your visitor’s plate info to your EZ Tag (toll program called EZ Plate).

Passive RFID in a renewal sticker would not be that more expensive on a mass scale, and that cost would be passed on to the taxpayer in their renewal anyway

sounds much more expensive to produce, and probably not worth the production cost.


Passive rfid can be embedded into a sticker for less than 25cents. The current EZ Tags have passive RFID tags.

I went through the Sam Houston toll without a toll tag or stopping st the toll booth. Looked up on their website to see if I would get a ticket and it said once a year you are allowed a pass where you can pay the toll online after the fact. But if you do it more than once in a year you get ticketed.

Ran through it because I was used to driving through Austin and Florida tolls where they send you a bill in the mail.

They looked at the other plate fool.

Going to almost be impossible to prove that it was his car that racked up that many tickets. Is attorney can simply say that the videos could have been another car just like his with the same device. These tickets won’t stick.

Sounds more like a Florida Man. Might be a transplant.

Looks like a big arse LCD screen that he can turn black at the flip of a switch.

Hi tech.

Hi tech.


Actually, it is a tag flipper. You can buy them on eBay, Amazon and I assume a lot of other places.

Nobody should owe this much money to the state in road tolls. That's ridiculous.
