Usually, when it takes a long time to get tags, it is because the loan on the vehicle either took longer than normal to fund, or hasnt been funded yet. Sometimes, this does indeed take months. The dealership will usually not tell you this, but when you signed for the car, you signed a conditional delivery agreement, pending funding by a bank. Sometimes dealerships do this knowing it might take a while to get an acceptance. The paperwork is not forwarded to the State until this has happened. Texas is pretty proficient....about 7-14 days. I doubt very seriously it is possible for any dealership to "rip you off" on tags.
