Tina Jimenez, 38, of the Spring area, faces charges of money laundering and distributing temporary license plates to unauthorized persons.

According to initial inquiries, the woman used her EZ Used Cars and Trucks business to issue the special temporary license plates for the dealer’s restricted use, while no sales were reported during that period.

The request made to META was made earlier this month.
