Registration and Title Bulletin #052-05

Category:	General Information
Subject:	Aluminum License Plates
Attachment 1 \| Attachment 2 \| Attachment 3

PURPOSE
To inform you of the transition from steel to recycled aluminum for general issue license plates.

DETAILS
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice began using recycled aluminum to make specialty license plates in October 2004. The current stock of steel has been exhausted and general issue license plates will now be manufactured from recycled aluminum. The use of recycled aluminum is not only environmentally friendly but also provides significant benefits in several other areas (see attached).

COUNTY ACTION
Attached is a "shell" news release you may customize and send to local media. We plan to send a similar news release to TxDOT’s district public information offices statewide. If you would like a copy of this release by e-mail, please send a request to aleyva1@dot.state.tx.us.

CONTACT
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact your local Vehicle Titles and Registration Division Regional Office. You may also call Mike Craig, Deputy Director, or me at (512) 465-7570. Thank you very much.

In some cases the Registration and Title Bulletins (RTB) contain attachments. If you require a copy of the original signed RTB and the attachments, please email your request with the RTB number to VTR Info Request/Open Records. Repeat requests are subject to charges in accordance with Open Record policies. A subscription service is also available for an annual fee of $250.
