Texas Is Ditching Paper Tags—Here’s What It Means for You
House Bill 718 is shaking things up in Texas starting July 1, 2025
What’s the Bill About?
HB 718 puts an end to temporary paper license plates—which have been a magnet for fraud—and replaces them with metal plates issued directly at the point of sale. Dealers and leasing companies must now provide official metal plates on the spot.
🚛 What It Means for Professionals Like You:
If you’re moving chassis or trailers, or any bulk freight across Texas (or through it), here’s what changes:
No more paper tags for 30-day use, one-trips, or buyer holds.
All equipment must be registered with metal plates from Day One.
The DMV is tightening oversight, which means more inspections and fewer loopholes.
Non-compliance? Expect delays, fines, and operational headaches.
