Thank you for this additional recommendation - I'll add it to the list - even if we don't have time to view homes here we'll see if we can drive by and see how we like it.

OK so everything is in the works.

Just rented a car today with Avis...

What do we need to know about tolls? Do we have to pay them through the rental car company or can we pay for them some other way? (I know someone mentioned something about this earlier in the thread but I just looked real quick and didn't find it.) I'd rather avoid paying through the car rental company unless it's the same exact rate and we don't pay anything extra for the convenience.

The only way around not paying the rental company special fee's is to stop and pay the toll yourself. I personally would pay the special fee to avoid this. Depending on the time of day and which toll location, you will be sitting in a long line to pay yourself. There is an exact change line that is a tad quicker but still there will be a line depending on the time of day and location.

You would be eligible for an EZ Plate if you were a current EZ Tag holder. This is what I do when I come back to Houston to visit family. I grew up in Houston and have been an EZ Tag holder for eons.

This FAQ about EZ Tag and rentals should help. Frequently Asked Questions

I think you are stuck paying the special fees the rental car charges or paying as you go through the actual toll booths.
