The above link describes the various styles of "general issue" license plates which Texas has issued
over recent years.

During July 2012, the state started issuing the new "Texas Classic" license plates. These plates are plain white,
with black characters, and have started using the more-easy-to-remember "ABC-1234" type of numbering system.

You may click within the above link to see the Texas counties which are currently issuing this new style.

Although my county (Denton) is not in yellow, it IS issuing the new style. I know because I just got a new Mazda CX-5,
and although I stressed to my salesman that I needed my VANITY plates assigned to the new vehicle, he called me the
other evening and told me he had my new license plates, BCD-####. Thanks for listening to me. :-(

IMHO, Texas made the right decision to go with the new ABC-1234 style. The alphanumeric version in 7 characters is
just too hard to remember, especially if you are under stress and trying to remember a criminal's plate.
