AUSTIN, Texas — At just 18 years old, Terrin Solbrig was tragically killed by a driver using a fraudulent license plate tag.
It proved more difficult than they could have imagined because the temporary tag on the truck that hit Terrin was fake. The dealer who sold the tag to that driver had issued more than 30,000 paper tags in about six weeks, state records confirm. Special Agent Jeffrey Green with the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division spoke about this with a panel of lawmakers in October.
"With this information, law enforcement officials will have leads to follow up instead of hitting dead ends," Green said.
