I haven't heard anything about being exempted from inspection due to license plates. I do know that you can apply to have old plates that you own approved for use on your car if they meet a few requirements.

From the TXDoT application for specialty classic plates: "If you own license plates that are the same year as the classic vehicle, you have the option of using old plates instead of new Classic specialty plates if the plates pass examination. The old license plates must be examined at your local County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office or a VTR Regional Office before submitting this application. The old license plates must be original plates in good, readable condition and have the same color scheme as the original Texas license plates."

Yes if you register your car as an antique you will never have to have it inspected again. No ugly stickers on your windshield.

"The vehicle must be used exclusively for exhibitions, club activities, parades or other functions of public interest. Vehicles displaying Antique plates may not be used for regular transportation or carry advertising."

I guess that might be considered a catch, or at least some fine print. Though I guess you could just lie if you were called on it. :noidea:

club activities


key words no need to lie anytime I drive my VW's its for club activities. that can include workdays, lunches...ect ect ect

if you were daily driving it thats a diffrent story. I dont daily drive mine.

Are you looking to put the current antique vehicle plates on yours or are you trying
to find matching year plates?

hmm got a pic of this new sticker? Billy just got the tag for his YOM plates a couple of weeks ago it is the same as always and I just got a new one in August. How is your square registered?

[gixxer711]

it looks just like a normal registration sticker, just doesnt expire for 5 years.
