We're nearing the end of the road for the "Paper Tag Nation". In a little more than a month, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles will stop issuing temporary paper license plates following a series of reports by NBC 5 Investigates that exposed how crooks made millions selling fraudulent paper tags for profit. In 2023, the Texas legislature set a plan in motion to eliminate paper tags later this summer.

On July 1, Texas drivers will see a massive change with temporary license plates after the Texas legislature voted to eliminate paper tags. NBC 5 Investigates began a series of award-winning reports in 2022, uncovering how fraudulent paper license tags had become a tool for criminals to conceal their identities and evade police. The paper trail ends this summer, bringing cheers from many in law enforcement and questions from drivers about what will happen next.
