Texas License Plates

Post by mrsticka »

What if Texas used some kind of jurisdiction coding on their license plates? I mean, since the 1920's? I don't mean using county numbers. They have over 200 counties. Here's what I mean:

DFW–Dallas/Fort Worth
HOU–Houston
AUS–Austin
SNT–San Antonio
WAC–Waco
MOD–Midland/Odessa
AMR–Amarillo
ABL–Abilene
ELP–El Paso
BRW-Brownsville
CPG–Corpus Christie/Galveston
BMT–Beaumont

And other smaller cities or towns use those codes as well. It depends on which larger metro they're closer to. After the codes are 4 or 5 digits of serial. Like this for example: DFW–12345, DFW-A12345, DFW–AB1234

So what if Texas used that kind of coding on their license plates?
