However, there are three agencies issuing passes in Texas, so you have more options.

▸ The TxTag can also be used on toll roads and most bridges in Kansas and Oklahoma.
The following transponders are accepted on the toll roads in Texas, where you see a toll sign displaying the logos below. Any toll pass/transponder with a logo matching those shown below will be compatible with the TxTag network in Texas.

The main transponder issued in the State of Texas is TxTag.
If you wish to order the TxTag, the state offers the following types of accounts:
The TxTag Personal Prepaid account is for personal, non-commercial users who have privately-owned cars, trucks, motorcycles or the like. The TxTag accounts have a limit of five (5) transponders, whether portable or sticker-type transponders. There is a deposit required for portable transponders, but not for the sticker.
Once you acquire your first TxTag, your account will require a minimum of $20 in tolls to cover your first trips.
The TxTag Commercial Prepaid account is for commercial business or companies. This account must be used if you have a vehicle with three (3) or more axles, or if you plan to have six (6) or more transponders on your account.
Accounts of this type require a form to be prepared in advance of opening the account. Once the form is completed, you may send it via FAX or mail it.
When you have completed the TxTag application form, you may mail it to the following address:
TxTag CSC
12719 Burnet Road
Austin TX 78727
To FAX your application, send to 214-210-0492.

It is normal to get a toll transponder from the most prominent agency in any given state; however, how you travel can influence whether you get a different transponder, or even more than one.
Families and businesses will often have more than one vehicle. This usually means there is more than one transponder/pass on an account.
Most agencies allow more than one transponder to be assigned to an account, often up to five per family, and more for businesses. However, only one transponder or sticker ID can be assigned to any one vehicle at any given time.
When you order a pass, you will be required to set up a toll pass account with the state or regional agency that issues the transponder or sticker. This is how you will manage your transponders, your vehicles and add funds to your new toll passes.
When you get your pass, you will need to associate the identification number on the transponder or sticker with the vehicle you are using.
Proper installation of your new sticker or transponder is vital to assuring the device can be read by tolling equipment.
The illustration below provides a quick reference, and we have a complete installation guide, including special instructions for installing license-plate transponders, which are often used on large trucks and vehicles with metal-oxide windows.
NOTICE! If you are using a toll pass or transponder with one of the following networks, your pass will not work in Texas.
