Well, surprisingly, I got a call today. The TX licensing dept called to tell me my plate had come in. My first reply was… ‘oh, they lifted the lock-down???!!!’. So we struck up a funny conversation and I said thanks for letting me know and I’d come to pick it up today and we hung up.

30 seconds later I get another phone call. It’s the same girl saying that she totally forgot to tell me more. No big deal, other than to mention that the annual license registration I just got 2 months ago, has to be renewed again b/c the custom plate has to be synced with the license registration. Great! Suddenly getting custom plates isn’t so cheap.
