Auction

Welcome!

My Plates’ Auctions offer Texans a unique opportunity to purchase a coveted selection of reserved and sometimes never before released plate messages.

My Plates was given authority by the Texas legislature to auction these types of plate messages to help raise money for the Texas General Revenue Fund, which helps pay for services for all Texans.

Auction plate messages are highly sought-after and attract a great deal of attention from the media and public alike.

Why Buy at Auction?

  • Opportunity to purchase a truly exclusive plate message from My Plates' reserve collection.
  • First right of renewal at the state's everyday pricing, which means you can keep the plate for as long as you choose to renew it.
  • Auction plates are fully transferable. Not only can they be transferred from one vehicle to another, but also person-to-person, such as parent to their children or friend-to-friend. The plate owner also has the right to sell the plate message to another person with the same ongoing rights. As a result, Auction plates could be an excellent investment.
  • Peace of mind, knowing that you're purchasing your official Texas license plates from My Plates, the authorized specialty plate vendor for the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
  • Supports the General Revenue Fund of Texas, which provides services for all Texans.
