Texas Temporary Tags: A Texas Peace Officer's Guide

Texas Temporary Tags is a professional development resource for Texas Peace Officers. The lack of enforcement from Police has caused a boom in the "fake Tag" economy. Officers don't know what to look for, so they avoid enforcement action. TxDMV estimates that in any given year there are up to 1 million Temporary Tags being used on vehicles across the state. Of those 1 million Temporary Tags in use, about 50% are either fake or expired. This is an area of enforcement that is underserved and can have an immediate effect of street-level Officers productivity. Vehicles utilizing fake Tags are often involved with crimes such as; DWLI, UCW, POCS, POM, POD, Deadly Conduct, Auto Theft, LTS, FSRA, Robbery, Agg. Assault, and numerous other violent / non- violent offenses. This book is a portable guide geared to rapidly familiarize you with every aspect of Texas Temporary Tags; from the recognition of legitimate tags over fake ones to understanding how various tags work and applying/enforcing applicable laws.
