According to a press release from the Texas government, the release of a new Alamo license plate was announced by Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush and Texas State Representative Lyle Larson (District 122-San Antonio) on Thursday.
“The creation of this new license plate coincides with a new and exciting chapter in the Alamo’s history as we continue to make great strides in the historic master plan process,” Commissioner Bush said. “Not only will this license plate enable Texans across the state to show their pride for the Alamo, the Shrine of Texas Liberty, but it will also provide valuable funds for continuing preservation work and valuable educational resources so that we can continue to teach visitors about the historic events that occurred on this sacred site.”
With each purchase, $22 of the license tag price will go to the Alamo to pay for preservation efforts and historical educational programs.
“There are a lot of folks who take pride in Texas’ heritage, and the Alamo is the cradle of Texas independence,” Rep. Larson said. “This will give folks the opportunity to embrace that concept when they purchase their license plates and support the restoration of the Alamo for future generations.”
The license plate was designed by the Texas General Land Office in coordination with Representative Larson and the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. To order a specialty Alamo license plate, visit the DMV website.
