Is there any difference. Which one should I get? I just got my plates for my new car and do't want to have to avoid the toll roads any more. 4951

I didn't know there was another option besides the EZ Tag.  I just got mine today after finally getting my TX lic. and plates and all...that was a job and on top of that I let my New Hampshire lic. expire so they made me take the written test and the driving test, imagine that , I have logged more miles than 5 people have in their whole lifetime, I know how to drive...lol....i was a nervous wreck, but I did it. Glad all that is done with! 4951

EZ-Tag is not useful in Dallas, not sure about 290 to Austin, but it is on Harris County toll roads and some odd toll road from like Bastrop to Bryon (at least that is what the sign said when I was driving home Sunday).TxTag is suppose to be good in all of the State, no matter what toll road it is 4951

@FoFa: EZ-Tag can be used in Dallas.  Texas Tag and EZ-Tag are interoperable.  From the state Texas Tag info page -Can I use my Dallas TollTag or Houston EZ TAG in TxTag lanes?Yes. Dallas TollTags and Houston EZ TAGs work in toll lanes that display the TxTag logo throughout the state. Be sure your account information is up to date with your tolling agency to avoid potential fees.I have also attached the entire link for other questions www.txtag.org/faqs.p hp

@rocket: Except the toll road I was on didn't dis[play the TxTag logo, only the NTTA toll tag.
I was told I can not use my ez-tag without getting a penalty.But that was not any official person.And someone from Dallas told me they got a penalty from HCTA a few months ago because their dallas toll tag wasn't recognized on one of our toll ways (not sure which one).AND when I was coming back from Austin, EZ-TAG didn't appear to be one of the accepted tags on 290, but I might have missed it also because traffic was heavy. 4951

^^^Okay from your post it would appear that if you have an EZ-Tag or a Texas-Tag you can use either one if the toll road you're on has their logo.  Otherwise you have to pay.  Fortunately if you travel to Dallas frequently I have noticed on their toll booths there is also the Texas-Tag sign.  So for the most part you should be alright. 4951
