  Texas has approximately 300 miles of toll roads, predominantly in the three largest and ; most congested urban areas of Austin, Dallas, and Houston. The Texas Turnpike Authority ; (TTA) Division of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Central Texas ; Regional Mobility Authority are developing a substantial toll road network in the Austin area. ; The North Texas Tollway Authority and the Harris County Toll Road Authority are responsible ; for the toll road systems in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston areas. Both of these agencies ; have new expansion projects under development in their areas. TTA also operates a toll road on ; SH 49 in Tyler, Texas, in a more rural environment of east Texas. Additional toll road and ; managed lane projects are in development by TxDOT through comprehensive development ; agreements in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin/San Antonio areas.
