What Texas says about plate text

The character set IS officially confirmed — letters, numbers, space, hyphen and period, plus heart, star and Texas-silhouette symbols that are entered as @ and * and are therefore not plain typeable characters. The length is NOT: TxDMV's guidelines explicitly decline to fix a character count, saying it 'varies depending on the plate design', so the 6 here is the commonly cited standard-passenger figure, defaulted rather than official, which is why this entry is marked unverified despite citing the official source. Adding the International Symbol of Access costs two characters, and '69' is refused unless paired with a full year or a vehicle reference.

These limits could not be confirmed against an official source, so Plate Gator falls back to conservative defaults rather than presenting a guess as fact.
