License Tags Go on Sale in Potter County
Automobile licenses went on sale this morning with 75 buyers by noon for 1945 tags. County tax assessor Frank Hoyt urges early purchase to avoid a late rush. Purchasers need a Texas title certificate, a 1944 license receipt, and the 1942 license number. some 1944 receipts lack title or 1942 numbers, requiring extra deputy work. Only one plate will be issued, similar width to 1942 plates but shorter by two and a half inches, with black numbers on an orange background. Potter County plates begin EV 650 to EV 9999 and EX 10 to EX 6,000.
