How do you pay for toll roads in Texas?

I’m moving to Texas for school in a couple of weeks and I’ll be driving around the big cities quite a bit. I hear there are toll roads there, but I’ve never driven on one before. How do you pay for them?

Texas
! You’re right, the state has quite a collection of toll roads, but they’re pretty easy to use. You can pay toll roads in Texas using cash at the booths or by setting up a TexasTag account.
Setting up a TxTag account means you can bypass toll booths by using a car-mounted transponder that’s scanned as you drive by. This bills your TxTag account, which you can later pay with a credit or debit card. Plus, because it’s automated, you get discounts on several of Texas’s most-used—and most expensive—toll roads.
Getting yourself a TxTag is a great way to save money on Texas toll rates, but shopping on the
