A Texas couple owes enough money in unpaid tolls to buy a nice house.

The state Department of Transportation has released details about the top 25 toll violators in the state, topped by a couple from a town near Austin who owe $236,000 for 14,358 toll violations and fines, CNN reports. State transportation officials are giving the scofflaws until Wednesday to pay up or negotiate a settlement, or else it will release their names publicly.

Sixteen drivers owe the state more than $100,000, and across the state, 28,000 drivers have more than $100 in unpaid tolls. Taken together, Texas drivers are in the hole to the tune of $27 million in unpaid tolls.
