There are more than 500 specialty license plate designs available to Texas drivers, but just one mishap could have landed a Dallas woman in jail.
Christy Wiggins considers her Mercedes AMG GT53 to be her dream car, but there was just one thing missing.She logged on to MyPlates.com, the website which serves as the "personal plates marketing vendor for the State of Texas."MORE ON YOUR SIDE STORIES"I had to try a lot of different variations of the word before I found one that was available," she said."The county registered these plates to my car," Wiggins said.
"He pinged my plate and ran it through the system, and it came back as a stolen plate," Wiggins explained. Christy searched online and found a social media post from when the Dodge was stolen and then abandoned after it wrecked."If this can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. When you buy a license plate from MyPlates, you think it's all connected. They're the only plate company you can buy them from," said Wiggins.
"The department confirmed the license plates were stolen on November 12, 2021, and recovered on November 13, 2021. The license plates were issued to the new applicant in April 2023, which is after they were no longer reported stolen," reads the statement from Adam Shaivitz with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. "The department cannot speak to why law enforcement would treat the license plates as stolen after having been recovered.
