Here is the web site to find out about titles, registration, license plates, including specialty plates in Texas.

I've been considering for years going to Historic plates, but I want to stay within the law (use, etc). But I'm tired of the kids at the local inspection stations not being famiar with the rules and trying to do more than a safety inspection.

Might want to join the conversation here:

Love your ride. I feel the same way about inspections.
