Toll bills are part of the Pay By Mail program. Cameras on the toll road take a picture of a vehicle’s license plates, and that information is used to identify the registered owner of the vehicle. A toll bill is then sent to the registered owner’s address.
Pay By Mail customers have 30 days to pay their bill either in person, via check, online or over the phone.

Toll bills issued by MSB are received because a vehicle registered in your name used a North East Texas Regional Mobility Authority (NET RMA) facility without a valid TxTag, TollTag or EZ Tag. The NETRMA operates Toll 49.
Toll collection on Toll 49 recently transitioned from Texas Tollways to the NET RMA. During this transitional period, some customers may receive bills from both Texas Tollways and Municipal Services Bureau (MSB). Please be aware that payments made to Texas Tollways will not resolve outstanding payment with MSB and vice versa. If you received a toll bill from Texas Tollways, please contact them at 1-888-468-9824.
MSB is not affiliated with TxTag, TollTag or EZ Tag, and payments made to these accounts cannot be applied to toll bills issued by Municipal Services Bureau.

Building any road – whether toll or “free” – requires taking steps to protect the environment. As a local agency, the NET RMA recognizes the importance of protecting the natural resources that are unique to northeast Texas. The NET RMA will work closely with environmental groups, neighborhood residents, and all interested stakeholders to ensure projects are developed in a manner that is consistent with community needs and desires. This type of environmental study takes time.
The time line for each segment will be different depending on the potential impacts to the environment. Dividing the corridor into segments can reduce the time of these studies. A single segment environmental study could take as long as 10 years or as little as 3 years.
Future funding sources for the environmental process, ROW procurement, and construction have not been identified.
- It will allow for faster completion.
