About $150-175. Then $95/year instead of the typical $57 for registeration.

It's an extra 40 bucks.

Mine is at the county courthouse in Houston, and will be delivered to the local county office in Deer Park probably on Tuesday.

Just got it yesterday. It was received in downtown Houston, then delivered to Deer Park to the local courthouse. Nothing to it but fill out the paperwork, pay your 40 bucks, then wait a couple of weeks, then put it on the car

You can order them online. Just put in what you want until it says that the plate is available. Pay your $40 and then pick them up in a few weeks at the courthouse.

WhyTF does anyone want "RU 18 QT"? I've seen a few people on here from a different states with that plate. I think its MF gay.
