Sec. 228.0545. ALTERNATIVE TOLLING METHODS. (a) As an alternative to requiring payment of a toll at the time a vehicle is driven or towed through a toll collection facility, the department may use video billing or other tolling methods to permit the registered owner of the vehicle to pay the toll at a later date.
(b) The department may use automated enforcement technology authorized under Section 228.058 to identify the registered owner of the vehicle for purposes of billing, collection, and enforcement activities.
(c) The department shall send by first class mail to the registered owner of the vehicle a written notice of the total amount due. The notice must specify the date, which may not be earlier than the 30th day after the date the notice is mailed, by which the amount due must be paid. The registered owner shall pay the amount due on or before the date specified in the notice.
(d) The department shall send the notice required under Subsection (c) and subsequent notices to:
(1) the registered owner's address as shown in the vehicle registration records of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles or the analogous department or agency of another state or country; or
(2) an alternate address provided by the owner or derived through other reliable means.
