Vote for your favorite Texas horned lizard license plate
Texas wants you to help pick out a new design for its horned lizard license plate.
The big picture: The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is refreshing the popular plate for the 25th anniversary of its Conservation License Plate Program, which helps fund fisheries, state parks, wildlife management, research and conservation projects.
How it works: Vote online to choose between three plate designs featuring the Texas horned lizard, the state's official reptile.
You can purchase a conservation license plate online or at the county tax assessor-collector's office.
They cost $30 per year, and $22 goes directly to conservation projects.
What they're saying:"Unfortunately, we don't have as many horned lizards as we used to, but TPWD is trying to fix that," Richard Heilbrun, TPWD wildlife conservation program director, said in a statement.
By the numbers: The conservation plate program has raised more than $12 million since its inception in 2000, per TPWD.
