Harris County Toll Road Authority

An information site for Harris County residents

This site is not affiliated with HCTRA. Go to hctra.org to service an existing EZ Tag account.

Update: HCTRA has taken over TxTag! We think this is inappropriate. All TxTag accounts were forcibly converted to HCTRA accounts.

You still have a choice, however. Click here for the NTTA TollTag. The North Texas Tollway Authority's TollTag works on all toll roads in Texas, and the tag is free.

Advice: Always consider all options when planning a trip within Harris County - several dollars in tolls may only save you a few minutes on the road. Always use a GPS app like Waze that presents several options as well as tolling information. Consider as well that using toll roads may perpetuate the development of even more toll roads.

This site will contain information concerning the Harris County Toll Road Authority. We provide these documents in the interest of full disclosure. We certify that no document has been modified (other than to crop the document down to the relevant portions - never cropping an article or altering the meaning of any document).

We are collecting ANY kind of information about HCTRA. From newspaper articles, TV news reports, and even internal documents that HCTRA may not want you to see. As a government run enterprise, HCTRA's operations should be completely transparent.
