It's been some time since the TX registration expired, so rather than try to get it inspected/registered in TX again I chose to drive it home to SW KS and title/register it here.

That means I needed a temporary permit. I purchased and downloaded a 15-day One-Trip Permit that requires some rather specific routing information...fairly inexpensive (only $5) and it should be enough to get me to the north border of TX. I'm on my own after that for the 40 mile drive through the OK panhandle and the 90 mile drive back to my SW KS home.

I can see that this could make me an attractive target for almost every cop that gets a view of my license plate on the rear of the car. Has anyone else ever tried to make a trip of that nature on one of these paper tags? I'm just curious if it was an ordeal or if my fears are realistic.

Thanks in advance for whatever information you can provide!

I drive across country all the time with paper tags. Not in a cobra but a car is a car. It's legal so do it.
