New Texas License Plates to Feature the Alamo

Texas General Land Office

It’s about to get a lot easier to remember the Alamo, reports KTXA. The Lone Star State has issued new license plates depicting the San Antonio mission and battle site. Texans can buy a plate for $30. $22 of that money will go directly to the Alamo to pay for preservation efforts and historical educational programs.

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush said he’s thrilled with the new license plates. Bush referred to the historic site as “the Shrine of Texas Liberty.” He added that the plates will allow the state to “continue to teach visitors about the historic events that occurred on this sacred site.”

The license plate was designed by Texas State Representative Lyle Larson, with the help of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. Larson said his design will “support the restoration of the Alamo for future generations.”
