Bill Analysis

SB 1311 would allow toll road authorities to deliver notice of nonpayment of a toll by electronic record, as opposed to by first-class mail, if the recipient agrees to it. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action supports SB 1311 for promoting the principle of individual liberty. This bill, while simple in scope, would provide an additional option for Texas drivers to receive notices from toll road authorities. It would also result in some cost savings and create additional customer convenience.
