Toll runners welfare state (Plano, Vega: home, buying, tax)

At that point I said screw it. Nearly two years later I get a 500 dollar toll bill. It was sent to my families old office where the car was registered in TN. One of the ladies that worked there put it together and mailed me the NTTA notice to me here in TX. Was furious after receiving the bill. Called and asked how they thought it was a legitimate business practice to send a bill to an out of state address nearly two years after someone went through a toll. They said that's just how they do it. Truly unbelievable.

I'm surprised CA hasn't thought of this money making sham.

The top violators give us plenty of clues.

1 MELISSA S MARTINEZ SACHSE TX 75048 $153,046.47 2 DAWN H HENRY FRISCO TX 75035 $134,008.01 3 TARMEKA FLEMING GARLAND TX 75040 $132,014.92 4 LINDA GASKIN ALLEN TX 75013 $128,246.27 5 TYRONE HAMMOND PLUMERVILLE AR 72127 $123,485.54 6 ROBERT ANDERSON DALLAS TX 75287 $122,302.09

How does one accrue this without getting arrested after the first $50? While I agree this is stealing and they she be prosecuted, something does not seem right with these amounts.

How would you arrest them? There is no legal mechanism for that.

Do you care to elaborate? It's amazing how people make these broad statements without any backup.

Surely they could not allow them to register their car or their license and have an officer ready to seize the car the first time they drove said car again....pay up or seize their car-much like that show Parking Wars

Sending someone a bill two years after they use your service seems mob like.

And I bet they waived all of the fees if your story of events made sense.

It doesn't exist in TX law. It has to be approved by the legislature and NTTA is currently seeking their approval.

"Mob like"??? Give me a break. You used their service and they billed you for it, albeit a delayed bill.

Actually this is going into effect right now.
