The Texas legislature is getting creative with your “ride” to raise money for the state without raising taxes and fees.
From burgers and bearkats, to warriors and wildcats, more than two dozen new specialty numberplates are soon to be available in Texas.
A group called My-Plates is working with the Texas DMV to increase not just the “cool” factor on the roads, but also state revenue.
The numberplates start at $55 a plate.
Since the company started selling in November, Texans have bought about 16,000 of them for total sales of $3,500,000 dollars.
For Red Raider fans, you might have seen Texas Tech tags out there.
My-Plates reps say they’re currently designing a full-color, modernized version, which should be ready by October.
