YEP, this is a fact......if you go to the Tx DOT site for plates....and want regular Personalized License Plates, the link takes you directly to MyPlates.com....but if you want a Tx plate that has a College or Univericity (an addition $30/yr in addition to your regular registration), Special Organizations (an addition $30 or $40/yr in addition to your regular registration depending on the orginatation), or Sports Teams (an addition $30/yr in addition to your regular registration) ....these still come from Tx Dot.

The 10 year deal is the best offer, but you'd think a plate would only be the initial cost. Then its just a sticker every year past that.

It's another form of taxing.

SilverTurtle · 11-22-2010, 12:08 PM

basic personalized plates in Hays are still $40 over whatever your registration price is... for our 2002 SS and 2002 Firehawk, its about $95 each, driveout price.

there's no plate that Texas offers, IMO, that is worth over $100/yr

Maybe I'll just pay the 5 yr.

I'm curious how the 10 yr option is even possible considering that I thought the state required you to get replacement plates every 6 or 8 years due to wear and tear, as well as diminished reflective surface, on all license plates... maybe that doesn't apply to custom plates?

OMG I love you BB! I hope you make a choice you're happy with! I have to say that is outrageous but you make me even more greatful I am a gulf war combat veteran medically retired, I almost forget how cool it is I get to choose from several cool military disabled veteran plates and pay $3.00 registration each year! I'm so greatful for that! Proud too!

I get to park anywhere I want and free toll roads in some places!

BUT STILL DAMN that's WAY TOO MUCH of an outrageous price!

Dangeruss · 12-02-2010, 02:08 PM

Bunny,

Here are the plates you'd have to choose from that are cheaper.

The fee is just because of the "luxury" series or something like that. I have the black with the white star and paid $495 for 5 years to get it. I could have gone with the basic Texas plate or the "T" plate and only paid an extra $40 but the black plates just look so cool on the Pamaro! Keep in mind, that's just the fee for the PLATE, you still have to pay a registration fee or some other ridiculous fee each year (just got my bill for $78 to renew). Totally worth it, IMHO. I did like Nightmare and put it on a credit card and paid it off the next month.

hot_rod · 12-02-2010, 02:17 PM

Had to go with "Bevo", looks great on my IOM

Barricade_643 · 12-05-2010, 12:40 PM

I had a personal plate on the Cougar and I got the same letter.

They used my plate in the web site advertisement and I think someone else wants it.

Who knows but there is no way Im paying $195 a year for it.

So next month PANTHR will be available if you want to shell out that plus a registration fee.

When I ordered the plate it was $44.....then it went up to $85 now they want $195?

no thanks. Myplates.com can shove it up their assss
