When a new general-issue license plate design is released, it takes several years before all registered vehicle owners receive the plates.
Introduced in July , "The Texas Classic" is designed to provide Texans the highest public safety protection. It is the first license plate in the country to feature two, high-visibility security threads embedded into the plate sheeting, making it easier for law enforcement to spot legitimate plates.
This was the first digital, general-issue license plate, and also the first to use full color and full-plate graphics. When it was launched in June , it began the seven-character plate number. After 33 years, Texas' growth exhausted the six character alpha-numeric plate patterns.
The new passenger vehicle plate patterns began with two letters, followed by a number and then a letter and three numbers. The plate design was selected by Texans in an online e-Vote. Unfortunately, the plate design was not favored by law enforcement, and some Texans complained the plate's colors clashed with their vehicle color. This license plate was introduced in , and These plates represent the last of a Texas era. The design has the distinction of being the last stamped plate in Texas history, and also the last general-issue plate issued with six characters.
The design of this plate features a little bit of everything, including a space shuttle, oil derrick, and cowboy on a horse. When it was launched in , it became the first Texas plate to use three colors - blue, red and black.
There was a lot of confusion in when the Texas legislature reorganized the Transportation Code because legislators unintentionally removed the penalty for vehicles that did not display two plates. The law required two license plates, but there was no penalty for vehicles that did not comply. Anyone pulled over for failure to display a front license plate while the statute lacked a penalty was able to challenge the ticket.
This oversight was fixed in , and Texas is now back to clearly being a two-plate state. Before the Transport Code was changed in , it designated specifically that the license plates should be placed at the front and rear of the vehicle. The Court of Criminal Appeals in Spence v.
