I am surprised that no one has said anything about this.

my ex used to call me a rockstar so i got these plates, it was only 40 bucks and took 3 weeks and they pushed my registration got pushed back a year too!

 

It is around a 100 a year... for your type of plate at the end of the year.

ahh.. i just noticed you have that unpainted edge on the right side it looks like. They need to fix that machince or something, that drove me nuts for the longest time.

 

they didnt tell me that...hmmm lol

i dont care as long as i have my plates

 

oh it isn't that they didn't tell you, combine the 40 for the personal plate, plus your registration. just be glad you didn't get the custom personalized plate. that would be like another 30-40.

 

You already get 7 letters on the plates in Texas.
We had Unknown on our Solstice

His plates will be around 78 bucks a year for what he has. That is how ours was and that is what we paid. Well worth it to me. its only once a year and like they said the first year u dont even have to repay Reg!

 

for the longest time 7 letters wasn't allowed here, if they do allow it then it's only been the last few years if that. I have a 7 letter plate (just rad) from over 15 years ago, used to get pulled over constantly because it was not in the dps/apd computers, it was a b-day gift for me and my mom worked for the i.r.s at the time so God only knows what she pulled to get me that plate, I still have it too.

 

Just paid $40 to exchange my new registration for vanity.

 

I dont know how long it has been ok. I got this one in Early 06 when we got out plates originally for the car.

 

do you still have fronts..

for the love i god i miss tx..

want to move back.. but front plate might make it a no go..

beers

 

yea still have to have the front one on the car. I have gotten away with it off all my newer cars. Seems the police dont really mess with nice cars without the plates. Only here it on the lower valued vehicles.

 

I don't have the front one on my car either - makes it look ugly IMO. I still keep it inside just incase i ever get pulled over for it.... put it on the dash real quick or something :p

 

i got pulled over and it had it on the dash,the cop didnt say anything, he was looking for a reason to take me to jail, hes like, you got your plate...ok good...

phew

 

Texas currently and always only had 6 letter plates.

 

awesome! I'm still the only one with a 7 letter plate then..I hope

 

WTF.... it was my understanding that they never passed the 7 letter bill... i know the current limit is 6 letters and doesn't seem to have changed recently. what year did you get yours?

 

Heh...every time I just say the bracket fell off...

I've only gotten asked twice outta four times...

No plates FTW!!

 

^^^yep. I keep mine down between the center console and the passenger seat. Never been asked yet, but if i do the old "the bracket broke off and i am replacing this weekend" should do the trick.....unless of course you call out the officer on the original reason for the stop, then proceed to give him a condescending attitude and your version of how there is no way he could have clocked you from 3 cars back being directly behind you....and then in retalliation he proceeds to write you 4 citations on top of the one he originally pulled you over for.....yeah, the old "bracket broke" story ALONE should work.

 

Yes you must be right since you are the ALL KNOWING and I guess my plate was completely bogus. Oh well. Next time I try to get one ill make sure to remember its not what is legal but what you say is legal.

 

it was about 15 years ago I got mine, I'll have to take a pic, it's completely legit.
