A Texas City woman contacted KPRC 2 Investigates team after she received toll road fines for a vehicle she doesn’t even own.
Shunda Rolland drives a 2018 Dodge Durango. So when she got a few bills from the Harris County Toll Road Authority with a picture of what they said was her white pick-up, she was perplexed.Rolland couldn’t get anyone at the Harris County Toll Road Authority to listen to her when she told them the truck that went through the toll stations without paying was not hers.She got one bill and then another. Finally, Rolland recognized the license plate number on the bill.
“Do you know the last odometer reading? Do you have the title? I don’t have any of that, it was a trade-in,” Rolland said.“I don’t care if it’s 25 cents or $25. If I pay that bill, every bill that that person acquires gonna come to me, and I’m not gonna pay it,” she said.It is a good thing she didn’t because when we reached out to HCTRA to figure out what was going on, a spokesperson revealed that HCTRA made an error by misreading this blurry license plate.
