All I did was call the number in Austin and the lady said they were available, so I sent a check as fast as I could. The politically correct version, for anyone in authority that might ask is Forget It Glenn Jill And Me.

Enjoy until someone there figures it out and they come in the dead of night and yank it from your vehicle and put on some generic plate! I wanted HMFIC but it is on the "Do Not Issue-Offensive" List

I don't think that'll be a problem since it stays parked inside when not driven. Plus see the two posts in front of this one.

Sorry guys. I was doing some experimenting this morning with my avatar before I left for work. The one that's there now is different from the one when I originally started this thread. The old avatar was a picture of my new Texas vanity plate....FIGJAM

Do a Wiki on FIGJAM and you'll see why the one poster asked how I got it by the Plate *****. The Glenn, Jill and me thing is for political correctness.

Hey Steve,

You have one of two choices. You can either go downtown and pick it up. The tax assessors office is on the SB I35 access rd @ Martin St. 233 N. Pecos is the physical address I believe. Or if you've ever done business with the nice ladies at Tisdale's on Pat Booker Rd., they'll go pick them up for you for a small fee.

Trace, Thanks, I have used Tisdale in the past when I moved to Texas way back in 93 and was not aware they did this
