Single License Plate Bill Introduced in Texas Legislature


Single License Plate Bill Introduced in Texas Legislature

Legislation (H.B. 557) to require the issuance of a single motor vehicle license plate for attachment at the rear of the vehicle was introduced in the Texas House Of Representatives. The bill, favored by state hobbyists, would apply to passenger cars and light trucks.

We Urge You to Contact Members of the House Transportation Committee (Contact Info Below) Immediately to Request Support for H.B. 557

H.B. 557 would apply to all passenger cars used to accommodate 10 or fewer passengers and light trucks, including pickup trucks, panel delivery trucks, or carryall trucks that have a manufacturer's rated carrying capacity of 2,000 pounds or less.

H.B. 557 would protect the aesthetic contours of collector cars and relieve vehicle owners of the burden of having to create mounting holes on fabricated bumpers, etc.

H.B. 557 would save money, conserve resources and bring Texas in line with other states that have moved to a single plate requirement.


DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the Texas House Transportation Committee immediately by phone or e-mail to request their support for H.B. 557.

Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at [email protected].

Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts. Urge them to join the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.

Texas folks... let 'em know how ya feel, one way or the other.

I posted this here in General Truck so the 'bolters in Texas would know it is happening, so they can let their opinions be known to their representatives, one way or the other. For better or worse, that is how a Representative Government is supposed to work.

Being as I do not reside in Texas, I do not have a dog in this hunt. I have known a few Texans who have been annoyed about the two tag rule tho'. Some folks don't mind, some folks find it annoying, some think it's just stupid.

Please keep the posts in this thread related to any facts and updates about this proposed legislation as it works it's way through the process within the Texas legislature.

If you reside in Texas and have thoughts, feelings or opinions on this issue... don't tell us about it, tell your representatives.

If you need to find out who your representatives are, see the first post.

Thank you.
