Texas drivers and car dealers will be affected by two new laws that go into effect in the new year.

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles announced Friday that offices across the state will reopen at 12 p.m. after a system outage forced them to remain closed throughout the morning.

It’s been almost two years since NBC 5 Investigates began investigating the widespread fraud involving Texas paper license plates. And it will be two more years before those tags are gone from Texas streets, now that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has signed a law that will replace paper tags with metal license plates.
