Just call the toll road authority with proof you sold it and they should dismiss it.

06Dodge-how is the vette motor coming?

Just show proof of sale. Thats why when you sign the title get a copy of it and pull the plates. Makes them transfer to get new one`s! Good luck!

Yeah I just got a hold of him he claims he has ez tag and that he will call them tomorrow, I will call them tomorrow and fax the bill of sale with all of his info.. Pain in the ***. I thought that I had run the tolls but then looked at the plate and realized it was my old car.

In the meantime I would fill out this form to let TxDOT know you transfered the vehicle and they will mark it as being sold. Its to cover your *** just in case situations like this happen. You had to have sold it Less then 30 days ago though.

Form

I submit one with every car I sell just to be on the safe side.

Yep, happened to me when I sold my wifes car to a kid who ran the toll like 3 times. It was a PITA to get it straightened out. The car even got impounded somehow and they notified me.

There is a form that you should fill out to notify the state that you transferred the car over and costs like 5 bucks, but its probably too late for that. Otherwise, you'll probably need to get in contact with the buyer to get it all straightened out. Some people....sigh.

When they try to register it, they will put a hold on it. Cant be registered until there paid.

I bought a car from carmax with $500 in toll fees. I had to get proof that I bought it after the fact.
