Hurry and cast a vote for a new Texas license plate! For the first time in the Lone Star state’s history, Texans can vote online for a new general-issue license plate. Until noon today, Texans can vote for one of four new license plate designs or to keep the current general-issue plate.
All of the plates feature the state name on the top and “The Lone Star State” on the bottom. They are divided into four categories, a representation of how Texans see the state:
•Traditional Texas. The plate features blue highlights with a gold Lone Star, and bold, red “TEXAS.”
•Lone Star Texas. A white Lone Star stands out in the top, left-hand corner of the plate. Wide brushes of red and blue punctuate the Texas sky on the top half of the plate along with a low-lying mountain range on the bottom.
•Natural Texas. The entire plate is covered with wildflowers.
•New Texas. This red, white and blue plate features a composite of modern landmark buildings from several Texas cities.
•My Texas. This is the current general-issue license plate that was introduced in 2000. It features icons of the state, including a horse, space shuttle, and oil derrick.
All of the plate designs were created by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
