What this benefit is

Unlimited free passage on Toll 49 around Tyler for a Disabled Veteran plate, once you register a tag against it. Charges still apply on every other Texas toll road.

What it's worth: Unlimited free passage on Toll 49

  • Estimated for a regular Tyler-area commuter. Toll 49 is a single facility, so the saving is bounded by how often you use it.
  • The exemption is specific to Toll 49. Your tag is still charged normally everywhere else.

Who is entitled to it

  • You are in Texas.
  • You hold a Disabled Veteran, valor award or Purple Heart plate.
  • You have an electronic tag enrolled against the plate with this operator.
  • The vehicle is registered in your own name.
  • You use Toll 49.

Worth knowingNET RMA cites §372.053 directly, which is unusually clear of a toll authority — most describe their programme without saying where the power to run it comes from. It is also the only one we found that names the primary-vehicle and no-outstanding-violations conditions explicitly.
