Custom License Plate!

Well, don't have the truck yet, but locked in my plates. Front and back in Texas.

Question for anyone from Texas who has used Myplates...I don't pick up my Truck until I get back stateside in July, but the plates will be ready in a month. Is there a way to get them prior to having the truck? Thought I could have my wife go in and get them from the county, but the confirmation email I received seemed to indicate I needed registration and insurance, etc. to pick them up....

You're gonna need your license (proof of a residency), registration, and proof of insurance (since the truck is new, only a insurance binder is necessary as long as the tag is applied for within 30 days of the purchase date). If your wife is picking it up for you, I believe you can have her bring in a photocopy of your license as long as she brings in her own license as well (if the plate is under your name). However, I'm not 100% sure so I highly recommend that you double check with your tag office.

My dealership told me I couldn't order custom plates till my truck got here

i picked mine up before. you have to go back into the registration office once your new truck populates in their system (usually 3 weeks after you buy it).

I have my plates on my truck now with the temp tag in the rear window. no hassles on it from police yet.

Wow Texas rules. New Mexico doesn't have a site like that at all.

Thanks. I figured I could do something like that.

You're lucky I'm indecisive Tex, SVT 6.2 that was one of the ideas I was had when I got my custom Texas plates

That was near the top of the list, but I couldn't make up my mind, so I just ordered the white plate with random numbers/letters.

Yeah...I tried a few other options (7 in all). Some were taken, so I jumped on this one when it was listed as available. I don't even pick up my truck until July, but didn't want to wait and find out someone else got the plate I wanted.

Texas would REALLY rule in the area of license plates if they didn't require front license plates. But instead they write us tickets for not having them.

I love customized plates, have them on other cars, but I have not found one I love for the raptor yet.

Exploring available vanity plates for my '13 Raptor that is being built on Monday. Since I live in Califorina..no easy task. I live in Napa Valley and am in the wine business. So I came up with: WINOSAR It would be nice to have one extra character to get the u in there but still a good play on dinosaur. What you guys think?
