I read up on custom plates and it says you can only have six characters, however I could have sworn I've seen Texas plates with seven characters before. Does the space in the middle count as a space? For example, would I be able to put ABCDEFG all in a row, leaving out the middle space? or does it have to be ABC DEF ?

6 letters. On some layouts, I think the space is optional (or non-existent), but you can't replace the space with a letter so you're still limited to 6 letters.

However, on the recent poll for a new TX license plate design, the license plate candidates had 7 letters, so maybe that was a sign of things to come.

By the way... the coolest TX license plate I've seen was:
"FIGHT"


It was obviously a UT Alum. With the layout of the plate, the word "Texas" was right above the word "FIGHT"... so you effectively get:

"Texas FIGHT"!!!

yeah, it's currently six characters and two spots for either a space or a little texas logo

you could just wait until the new plates phase in for seven characters

I think I'm going to get new vanity plates when the seven letter plate comes out. Lots more options there...

When is the new plate design going to be implemented?
