AUSTIN, Texas -- My Plates is bringing back one of the state’s most popular general-issue license plate designs, but there’s a new twist

The plate proudly features the space shuttle and the cowboy and was first introduced in 2000, and 31.5 million sets of these plates were manufactured before a replacement general-issue design was launched in 2009.

Texas residents can adorn their vehicles once again with the classic design and for the first time, customize it with personalization up to seven characters. People can choose up to seven letters or a mix of alpha-numeric characters.

Another change is that the original design displayed a horse with only three legs, but the new design will feature a four-legged horse. Similar to the previous design, the plate featured a mix of old and new. It showcases more modern history with the space shuttle, and the oil derricks, and yet features the timeless Texas stars at night, classic Texas vista and cowboy on a horse. 

Three main colors are used on the plate - red, white and blue - the patriotic colors of Texas and the U.S.A.
