Vintage license plates in Texas...

I found that 38 states have a "year of manufacture" statute, allowing owners of antique cars (and bikes) to use plates that match the year of the car.
As in, you can buy an original 1967 motorcycle plate and use it on your bike if it's a '67.

What I can't find is if Texas allows this. And since I can't I'm guessing no?

yes they do

check with your local tag office for the forms needed.
figures, just as i found it....

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](c) In lieu of issuing plates under Subsection (a), the department may approve for use license plates presented by the owner that were issued by this state in the same year as the model year of a vehicle described by Subsection (a). The department shall approve for use on a passenger car license plates that were issued for a passenger car or for a truck and shall approve for use on a truck license plates that were issued for a truck or for a passenger car. If the department approves license plates under this subsection , the department shall issue a symbol for attachment to one of the license plates, as determined by the department, showing the year in which the vehicle was registered under this section.

what i wanted to do in jersey for my model a is i have a set of 29 plates..i was going to just get personalized plates with the same numbers on them..and just carry them in my car in case i got pulled over...but since i had to register as hirtoric, they put a "QQ" before the numbers and it wouldnt fit so im out of luck....
