I mean it's not nasty or vulgar, but Texas is pretty strict about what they approve on their license plates. I mean it's just a saying call it PG13 rated. If it doesn't get fully approved, no loss, but I purchased it and we will see what happens.

My state [florida] has 3 levels of checks on what is appropriate , first is the DMV on line search if its available , next the application at DMV asks the meaning and lastly if DMV gets too many complaints they can re-call the plate .

I'm not sure about Texas. I know their software is set up to stop a lot of stuff before purchasing them.

This was my favorite all time personalized plate that I had on my 2017 Z06, but I gave it up when I sold the car. Someone else has it now.

These are fake plates just for car shows or something of that nature. On the plate design being used, it's limited to 6 characters. This shows 7 characters.

If you got that off of the myplates.com website, they will not allow a plate to be ordered or even made up on their site that Texas won't allow.
I take it that one with "HALLS" spelled correctly, "HAULS" wouldn't go through?
Meaning someone else already has it or it wasn't allowed.

In SC they ask on the application what is meant. Had to describe what ZORA meant several times!


Current E-Ray is fine.


The two prior a 2020 C8 with ZORA always wanting a ME and my 2017 Grand Sport giving credit to ZORA for the Grand Sport put on all plication what ZORA was!

The plate message you chose has been declined by the TxDMV on 4/24/2026 under the criteria “Criteria 2B: Could be viewed directly or indirectly as vulgar (swear or curse words)”. You have a couple of options that can still result in getting a great My Plates plate for your vehicle:
  • Appeal: You can appeal the TxDMV’s decision. Appeals must be submitted in writing and you have a limited time window that closes 20 days from above date of decline. In making an appeal, please provide an explanation of why you believe your declined plate message should be approved, three (3) photographic images (front, side, back) and the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle you intend to link the plates to.
  • You may request a refund and reorder a new message by contacting us at 888-769-7528, M-F 8a-5p.
If you take no action, My Plates will cancel and refund your order after the 20 day appeal window closes.

Please contact My Plates at 888-769-7528 and inform us of your decision so that we may assist you in getting your request completed.

Thank you for your order, and I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

I read your plate as "Halls Arizona", so I'd think it would get approved hah.

I would assume your last name is Halls and you're from Arizona.

Without two Zs, it's not obvious that the second part is supposed to be "***", if that's important to you.

I owned a 87 Grand National, I tried getting BADAZZ, and it wouldn't go through. Reason being, many complimented saying my car was bad ***. The SOS lady thought it was funny, and said we can try, but it got denied.
I tried also getting DMNHAWK, and it was denied. Not sure why, because you apparently can have LIL DVL, because I seen a license plate with that on it. So you can have the word Devil but not Demon? Makes no sense to me... Not going to post my exact plate but I have xxxKILR on one of my rides. So they approved Killer abbreviated.. go figure.
