Re: new tx license plates
I still don't really understand the OP. I know the new plates are stamped, but what else is unique or interesting about them?

Re: new tx license plates
I think it is just the fact that they are like they were in the old days, just plain ol' black and white. Thus the name of them, "The Texas Classic". And it's three numbers followed by four numbers, rather than the mixture of letters and numbers followed by a mixture of letters and numbers.WildBill wrote:I still don't really understand the OP.

Stamped? Are you sure about that? On mine, the "number" is completely flat, unlike the old one where the "number" is raised.WildBill wrote:I still don't really understand the OP. I know the new plates are stamped, but what else is unique or interesting about them?

I think it can be any combination. I've seen several on the road.

If they are not stamped, they need to go back to stamping them.C-dub wrote:Stamped? Are you sure about that? On mine, the "number" is completely flat, unlike the old one where the "number" is raised.

Re: new tx license plates
The number is the LLN-LNNN. TEXAS is in a collegiate font. The numbers are printed rather than stamped. Otherwise the colors and general look is the same one as I got about 6 years ago.C-dub wrote:The format on mine is LLN-NNNN.

Re: new tx license plates
I've been referring to the newest addition which are black and white. I assumed that is what the OP was about.

I saw the link and map. It says that Harris county is using the new plates, but they don't look like your picture.tomtexan wrote:Refer back to my earlier post with picture and link.WildBill wrote:I just got mine two weeks ago, so maybe it's not new enough.tomtexan wrote:I've been referring to the newest addition which are black and white.

Re: new tx license plates
I haven't seen those yet, but I have seen the reverse with a black background. I thought it was just an option if you didn't want the standard plates.tomtexan wrote:Refer back to my earlier post with picture and link.WildBill wrote:I just got mine two weeks ago, so maybe it's not new enough.tomtexan wrote:I've been referring to the newest addition which are black and white.
