Default How many times can you change license plates in one year?

After looking around on TXDOT, I can't seem to find an answer to this question. I figured I'd ask here before having to call them.

I just received my new personalized plates, but now I have a better idea. I don't mind dropping another $40 to change it, but if I have to wait until next year then that's fine.

actually - I think it depends on your wallet
the state loved me when I changed my personalized plate three times one year (they charged me for each time) now I'm happy with what I got!

Does anyone know how many characters you can have on the plate with the Texas flag in the background. Looks like only 5 would fit but I need 6.

To check plate availability, please call (512) 374-5010 (select option 4). We will check the availability of up to three plates, but selections cannot be reserved. They are given to customers on a first-come, first-served basis.

I know on personalized plates, you can have up to 6 characters with 2 spaces. Not sure about specialty plates though.

Some specialty plates only allow 5 characters when personalizing them. If you just get a regular personalized plate, then its 6 characters.

And the three differant plates in one year was me and the wife arguing - she won....
