...kinda like a raise...it's coming...if...and if...and when...

...just got awakened from my nap by a call from a delightfully intelligent and informative gal from the Motor Vehicle Division in response to my email...she said that the January board meeting which I read the minutes of and which gave the information for the various interviews and collectors' publications and their articles is only the first step...the board's vote of approval just lets them begin to work towards the new plates...design and production, supplies, machinery, etc. have to be handled...plus they have a large supply of the current plate style to be used up...work is proceeding at government pace to accomplish all of that...but they have no idea when they will put the approved plates into production, or when they will hit the streets...as of now, they are available black letters on white background as a special order from myplates.com...it surely will not be made a general release this summer...

...point well taken, atouk...we'll probably paint the numbers on our back bumper to save money...

...well, choosing between the DPS license plate office and a reporter...I'm gonna go with what DPS said...no such plans and no such design...except for custom plates...we don't have long to wait...it'll be mid-summer 'fore we know it...

...I've had the 7-digit "new" style plate with white behind the letters since April of 2011 just as your sample shows...got to renew them by Monday, as a matter of fact...

...nope...just called DPS plate office...no such change is planned...just what the video said...now, she said at myplates.com, you can order such a plate as a special order, but there is not a general change planned for all passenger plates...

...this tells it as it is... " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; only the background behind the numbers has changed...

...to be entirely fair...the law says what it SAYS...NOT what they wanted it to say...any more than what WE wanted it to say...

...it's amazing how many minor but real violations you can observe while watching someone drive, once they have done something to draw your attention...
