How to access your TxTag account and pay online
TxTag is Texas's toll collection system, and you can log in to your account at www.txtag.org to view charges, make payments, and manage your account settings. The login page is on the main website — look for the "Log In" button in the top right corner. You'll need your TxTag account number and password to enter.
If you don't remember your password, the website has a "Forgot Password" link on the login page that will walk you through resetting it. You'll need to verify your identity using information from your account, such as your zip code or the last four digits of your Social Security number.
Once you're logged in, your dashboard shows your current balance, recent toll charges, and payment history. From there, you can add funds to your account, update your payment method, or change your contact information.

Payment methods and how to add funds
Once logged in, you can pay your toll bill using a credit card, debit card, or bank account. The website will prompt you to enter your payment information and the amount you want to add. Most payments process within one business day, though some may take longer depending on your bank.
You can also set up automatic replenishment, which adds money to your account whenever your balance drops below a certain amount. This is useful if you use the toll roads regularly and don't want to worry about running out of funds. You choose the replenishment amount and the threshold that triggers it.
If you prefer not to pay online, you can mail a check to the address listed on your bill or call TxTag customer service to pay by phone. However, online payment is the fastest way to may support your account stays current.
What to do if you can't remember your account number
Your TxTag account number appears on your toll bill and in your account dashboard. If you've lost your bill and don't have the number saved, you can recover it through the TxTag website.
Go to www.txtag.org and look for the "Forgot Account Number" or "Account Lookup" option. You'll need to provide personal information such as your name, date of birth, and the phone number or email address associated with your account. TxTag will then display or email your account number to you.
If the online lookup doesn't work, contact TxTag customer service by phone. They can look up your account using your name and the vehicle's license plate number.
Logging in from a mobile device
You can access your TxTag account from a smartphone or tablet by visiting www.txtag.org in your mobile browser. The website is designed to work on smaller screens, so you can log in and pay your bill the same way you would on a computer.
TxTag does not currently offer a dedicated mobile app, so the mobile website is your best option for on-the-go access. Bookmark the login page in your phone's browser for faster access next time.
Common login problems and how to fix them
If you see an error message when you try to log in, the most common causes are an incorrect account number or password. Double-check that you're typing both correctly — passwords are case-sensitive, so make sure your caps lock is off if you're using lowercase letters.
If you're still locked out after checking your credentials, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then reload the TxTag website. Sometimes stored data can interfere with the login process. If that doesn't work, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset your password.
If you see a message saying your account is inactive or suspended, it usually means your balance is significantly overdue. Contact TxTag customer service to discuss payment options or to reactivate your account.
When to contact TxTag customer service
TxTag customer service can help with account issues that you can't resolve online. Call 1-888-468-9824 to speak with a representative. They're available Monday through Friday during business hours, and some lines may have extended hours.
You should contact customer service if you need to dispute a charge, if your account has been flagged for unpaid tolls, if you've lost your transponder, or if you want to close your account. You can also reach out if you're having trouble with the website or if you need help setting up automatic payments.
Have your account number and a recent toll bill handy when you call. This will help the representative locate your account quickly and answer your questions more efficiently.
Understanding your toll charges and statement
When you log in, you'll see a list of individual toll charges with the date, time, location, and amount for each crossing. This breakdown helps you track where you've used the toll roads and verify that charges are correct.
Your statement also shows any fees or penalties that may have been added to your account. Late fees can explore if your balance stays negative for an extended period, so it's important to pay promptly when your balance gets low.
If you see a charge you don't recognize or believe is incorrect, log in to your account and look for a dispute or inquiry option. You can also call customer service to report the issue and request an investigation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I forgot both my account number and password?
Use the "Forgot Account Number" option on the TxTag website to recover your account number first, then use "Forgot Password" to reset your password. If the online tools don't work, call TxTag customer service at 1-888-468-9824 and provide your name and license plate number.
How long does it take for a payment to show up in my account?
Most online payments process within one business day. If you pay by phone or mail, allow additional time for processing. Check your account dashboard after 24 hours to confirm the payment was received.
Can I pay someone else's TxTag bill if I have their account number?
You can make a payment toward any account if you have the account number, but you won't be able to log in to that account without the password. Call TxTag customer service to discuss payment options for another person's account.
What happens if my account balance goes negative?
You can still use the toll roads with a negative balance, but late fees will be added if the balance isn't paid within a certain timeframe. TxTag will send notices to your registered address and email asking you to pay. Eventually, the account may be referred to a collection agency.
Is it safe to pay my TxTag bill online?
TxTag's website uses encryption to protect your payment information. However, make sure you're on the official website (www.txtag.org) and not a phishing site. Never share your password with anyone, and log out when you're finished using a shared computer.
