What you pay
At submission you pay $235 by credit card. TMDSAS says applicants apply to multiple schools with a single application and one flat fee. The fee is not refundable under any circumstances, and TMDSAS does not grant application fee waivers at this time. Your application is submitted when payment is complete.

Because the TMDSAS fee does not change with the number of schools, AMCAS is cheaper only for one or two schools; from 3 schools on, the AMCAS total is above the TMDSAS flat fee. Many Texas applicants also use AMCAS for schools outside Texas, so the two are usually added together rather than compared.
Plan the rest
Texas schools send their own secondaries and interviews like any other. The total cost calculator has a switch for TMDSAS, and the timeline has a TMDSAS version of the opening month.
