Yea the Dallas Morning News had a write up a few days ago. Some cool designs but a 10 year commitment for those prices?

Eww we pay $40.00 a year extra already for Vivid's plates but never had the 10 year rule til now....

Who keeps a car 10 years other than Ken O???

That pricing deserves a big middle finger.

Paul..... i think they updated the FAQ with your question

Can I transfer my specialty plates to another vehicle?Yes.

• Only to the same type of vehicle (ex. car to car, truck to truck)
• Between vehicles you own: your County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office staff will issue a new registration sticker and assist with the transfer.
• To a car bought from a dealer:

You should remove your specialty plates and ask your dealer to transfer the plates to your new vehicle.

• To a car bought from another motorist in a private sale:
• Go to your main County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office to register them as you title the vehicle in your name. You can find more information at www.txdot.gov.

Note: Plates that are seven years old or older cannot be transferred to another vehicle. These plates must first be re-manufactured due to loss of reflectivity.

Not sure what happens if you want to transfer them once they are 7 years old.....

also... playing with the plate builder, i am disappointed. The options are very limiting top do a "vivid" plate for example would now cost $80 a year plus registration AFTER signing a 10 year agreement.... POS; what do your personalized plates set you back a year now?

POS; what do your personalized plates set you back a year now?

yeah... not liking the new options so much.
Was just griping to the g/f because i had been talking about doing a "SXK MX5" plate when it was time to renew; but I'm not paying $80 for 10 years

This just in: MyPlates.com has shutdown their business in Texas due to lack of demand for the product according to Fox 4 news.

At those prices I am not surprised

Looks like a classic case of pricing yourself out of the market.

The only decent option was the premium package and it was $800.00

That's ridiculous.
