TEXAS, USA — Texans will once again be able to order embossed license plates after the feature was unavailable for the last 15 years.
My Plates, a company that provides specialty license plates in Texas, says the beloved style was last seen in 2009. The company will offer its "Premium Embossed" speciality plates in various color combinations.
The company offers black and yellow embossed, as well as black/gold and blue/gold. The design allows for seven characters which are raised above the plate itself.
"My Plates has received numerous requests from plate holders, car collectors, and everyday Texans about bringing back the choice of an embossed license plate," said Steve Farrar, CEO/President of My Plates. "The enthusiasm from our customers made this an easy decision."

My Plates said they conducted surveys among specialty plate holders and potential customers and the surveys showed an overwhelming support for embossed plates. Following the passage of Senate Bill 702, My Plates is now authorized to offer embossed license plates in Texas.
The specialty license plate company has been around since 2009 and proceeds back to the state of Texas. The My Plates program has generated over $190 million in new revenue for the Texas general revenue fund.
