YOM Registration
Does anyone in Texas have their classic registered with year of manufacture license plates? I have a nice pair of 1965 TX plates for my Mustang. I'm curious to know how you go about registering it this way.
I have looked online and was unable to find much about it. The local tax assesors office website does not have any information about it. I have found a few forums discuss it like the corvette forum. I also found a website that sells vintage plates that talks about it.

Can I register it like this with out limiting how much I can drive it? I know someone that registered it this way and then went and got it inspected etc and drives it all the time. He has both the regular stickers on the windshield.

It works fine in CA, dont know about TX. Only the "Horseless Carriage" and "Historic Vehicle" plates that restrict how you can drive because the fees are so cheap. You pay full fees with YOM plates, so no restriction.
Why the tax office? What about the DMV? Find your state DMV site and look there.

We don't get our vehicles registered at the DMV. We have to go to the county court house. Well now we have to go to a building down the street. I always thought we should go to the DMV too. We have to get it registered in the county that we live in.

The regulations are still written at the state level. Local offices sometimes dont have all the answers if they have never done something before. Still, I would check the state website.

Here in illinois we are allowed to run "vintage" plates on 1980 and older cars as long as the car has the modern plates, current registration and proof of insurance inside the car. What a lotta guys around here do is put the current plate on the rear and the classic one on the front, but i've never gotten stopped or ticketed for using both classic plates. You might wanna look into that to see if its legal in Texas so you can display your classic plates.
