PSA From BPD: Toll Road Text Scams

Editor’s Note: A friend of mine almost fell for this scam two weeks ago. She received a text claiming to be from HCTRA about an unpaid fine. Instead of responding, she went to the HCTRA office in Pasadena to verify. Staff confirmed it was a scam affecting many people, and she owed nothing. Thankfully, by checking in person, she avoided being scamed!
Heads up, Baytown! If you get a text about paying a toll, don’t click on any links—even if they look legit. Here’s how to protect yourself:

• The number – If the sender isn’t someone you recognize, don’t engage. It’s likely a scam.

• The link – Scammers get creative and sometimes use links that look official, but don’t be fooled. If you didn’t expect a toll notice, don’t click anything.

• Report it – If you get a suspicious text, mark it as junk or spam, and move on with your day.

Bonus tip: Always double-check the sender’s name—scammers love to impersonate real agencies. If it doesn’t seem quite right, trust your instincts.

Pro Tip: Official toll companies like EZ TAG (issued by Harris County Toll Road Authority - HCTRA) and TxTag (issued by Texas Department of Transportation) will never request payment via text, gift cards, or bitcoins. If you receive a payment request like that, it’s definitely a scam.

If you owe any tolls, you’ll receive an official notice in the mail. Don’t panic, just visit the official site to take care of it.

Be smart, stay safe, and remember: a toll is meant to be paid, but not via text.

IMPORTANT ROAD CLOSURES: Microsurfacing Program

Starting March 24, crews will begin microsurfacing roadways across the city. This cost-effective maintenance seals and rejuvenates existing asphalt, extending the pavement’s life.

Roadways impacted on Day 1 include: Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Houston, Ward, Cedar Bayou, Aron, Alexander, North Alexander, North 4th, and Peggy

During active work, streets will be closed to vehicle access. All parked vehicles must be moved and sprinklers turned off 24 hours before and after treatment. Residents will receive door hangers from Public Works & Engineering one week before work begins, and from the contractor 24 hours before paving.

Weather permitting, work will occur between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. There are eight zones and work in each zone is expected to take one day.

Construction Update:
North Main Concrete Repairs

Notice From the City of Baytown:

The Concrete Preservation Program (CPP) maintenance on North Main continues with the current phase of improvements. Work is ongoing in the northbound outside lane, which remains closed starting at Archer Road.

Crews will perform comprehensive maintenance work to ensure a smoother and more comfortable driving experience for motorists.

Project completion remains weather-dependent. We encourage motorists to use alternate routes during construction as lane closures will be in effect.

We appreciate your patience as we work to improve our city's infrastructure.
