FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles rejected more than 2,000 proposed personalized license plates last year.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that GOTWEED, CNN SUX, NOTRUMP AND NOBAMA were among those the agency’s staff found in violation of approval guidelines. Texas Administrative Code directs workers to look for inappropriate or “indecent” messages that may be misleading, vulgar, derogatory or reference illegal activities.
Some license plates were rejected last year for misrepresenting law enforcement or government officials.
Department spokeswoman Wendy Cook says residents can appeal a vanity plate rejection. She says the process takes about three months.
