As an agnostic, I can say that I think this is extremely ridiculous. Yes, I realize that may be a surprise to some, but this is insane he should be able to put anything non-offensive he wants on his license plate.

"Any suggestions on a good place to move to in Texas?"

That's a tough one. Depends I guess on your definition of little or medium sized and also what you kind of employment you might be looking for. For some good feedback head over to the Texas board. Lots of folks over there from all over Texas.

He probably wouldn't have any trouble getting a license that read T1HZH0

I have absolutely no idea where the federal government gets off on determining that this is a legitimate religious message. First of all the Constitution doesn't give them the authority to do so. Secondly, the reference is no different than any other reference system, including ISBN, to identify a book or a body of information.

I am very offended that this officious judicial hack thinks it's alright to cram his personal religious beliefs down my throat.

How about 3825-968 or 328-7448?

Pretty soon it will be illegal for hispanics to name their sons 'Jesus'!

Years ago Florida license plates had a number that represented the county and then numbers of the plate. A Tampa (Hillsborough) plate might look like: 3-12478 . A letter was used after the county designation to represent a certain class of tag. W meant over a certain gross weight, GK was a truck, Q was for antique cars. I worked with a funeral director who had an antique car and made sure he got the same tag every year: 4Q-2 .

Uh...no.

And how the hell did you get BUSH in any of that?!

Were it not for the context of this article I'd never have figured out what this meant.

Thank goodness the DMV folks are sharp enough to prevent this from happening...... /sarc off
