Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in the Choose Life license plate. The Choose Life license plate supports adoption in a way that creates a win-win situation for all involved: the baby, the birth mother, the adoptive parents, and the organizations that work with them. We need YOU to help make the Choose Life license plate a reality in Texas! Don't leave this site until you've explored all the ways you can help!

Goals of the Choose Life license plate:
We are very enthusiastic about the prospect of a Choose Life license plate in Texas because it will:
- Promote adoption as a compassionate alternative to abortion.
- Raise funds to assist women experiencing a crisis pregnancy. (Of the $30 fee for the plate, $22 will go to this mission and $8 will cover Texas Department of Transportation's production costs.)
- Put a positive, pro-life message on the road for thousands of Texans to see every day!
The Choose Life plates are already on the road in 19 states; 400,000 plates have been sold or renewed; and more than $9 million has been raised to help pregnant women!
Why not Texas?
The Texas Legislature must pass a bill to create the Choose Life license plate. House Bill (H.B.) 109 was pre-filed on November 10, 2008, and will come before Texas legislators during the 2009 legislative session, which begins in January. In the meantime, we need your help to build grassroots support. Check out the tabs to the left to learn more.
Although the Texas Department of Transportation has an administration procedure for directly creating specialty plates, the Choose Life plate is not a candidate for this process because some people do not like its message.
Texas already has more than 130 specialty license plates. It's time we add the Choose Life plate to the lineup!
