THEY ALWAYS DO THINGS BIGGER IN TEXAS

The Texas Department of Transportation has just released the names of the top 25 toll road scofflaws.

Topping the list is a vehicle owned by a couple from Pflugerville who owe the state $236,026.32. A vehicle owned by a couple from Hutto is second at $217,619.79. These scofflaws failed to pay tolls for a combined total of about 25,000 times.

16 toll road scofflaws have accumulated more than $100,000 each in unpaid tolls. The state is now owed nearly $27 million in unpaid tolls.

Just to show they do things really big in Texas, here are the state’s top 10 toll road scofflaws:

Ronny Williams and Cora Lewis, Pflugerville: $236,026.32

Mandy and Stephen Dyment, Hutto: $217,619.79

Renee Lee Ferguson, Hutto: $166,506.35

Taniqua Evans, Hutto: $158,705.16

Theresa Twyefort, Pflugerville: $149,418.37

Amee J. Geren, Round Rock: $145,341.08

Judy Blundell, Taylor: $141,755.21

Ashley A. Canada, Austin: $139,344.62

Laura A Gregory, Round Rock: $132,750.33

Mina Henderson, Hutto: $124,132.84

Four of the top 10 live in the small town of Hutto. It is part of the Austin-Round Rock metropolitan area. Pflugerville is a suburb of Austin. Taylor is located about nine miles east of Hutto. That makes all of the top ten scofflaws living in the Austin area. And that leads me to believe that the state capitol attracts a lot of crooks.
