HB 791 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the issuance of Central Catholic High School specialty license plates.

HB 791 creates specialty license plates for Central Catholic High School in San Antonio, featuring the school's logo on the left and "With Loyal Hearts" on the bottom. Texas drivers who purchase these plates will pay a fee, with administrative costs deducted before the remainder being deposited into the state's general revenue fund. The bill requires the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to design the plates in consultation with the school and takes effect September 1, 2025. This is a commemorative license plate bill with no direct impact on education funding beyond the revenue generated.
