Texas’ line of colorful custom license plates is back on the market, at prices adjusted for the current economy, officials said this week.
Sales begin Nov. 19 at www.myplates.com.
The Texas Department of Transportation Commission has approved pricing for the re-launch of the My Plates program.
My Plates is a public/private program created by the state legislature to offer Texans more choices in the color and design of their license plates, while at the same time raising money for state services.
There are colors and designs from hot pink and burnt orange to western and vintage themes.
The plates range from $55 to $195 for a one-year plate. Prices depend on how many letters and numbers you need to spell out the combination you want on your plate. If you purchase a five or 10 year plate, the per-year price goes down.
All of the original My Plate categories will cost less under the new pricing, dropping as much as $200 from last year. There are even a few new designs that will be offered for the first time Nov. 19.
Create a plate at www.myplates.com. Just choose the plate color and design preferred and check the combination.
As of Nov. 19, the plates can be purchased online then picked up at the local county tax office a few weeks later.
Texans can also call My Plates at 1-888-7MY-PLAT(ES), Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m..
