I have never heard of being able to put ANY year plate on ANY year vehicle. I'm not saying it's not true, but can someone show me something written that indicates that is the case? Here are a few links I found after a quick google search that seems to indicate otherwise, unless I'm just not reading things correct.

`Old' License Plates: If you own license plates that are the same year as the classic vehicle, you have the option of using old plates
instead of new Classic specialty plates if the plates pass examination. The old license plates must be examined at your local
County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office or a VTR Regional Office before submitting this application. The old license plates must be
original plates in good, readable condition and have the same color scheme as the original Texas license plates.

ANTIQUE LICENSE PLATES
Qualifications for Antique License Plates are as follows:
(a) A passenger car, truck, or motorcycle in which the frame, body, and motor are 25 or more years old and
is used exclusively for exhibition, club activities, parades, and other functions of public interest. The
vehicle will in no case be used for regular transportation and will not carry any advertising. A vehicle in
route to and from a location for routine maintenance is allowed.
(b) Applicants that have license plates, which are the same year as the antique vehicle may use those
plates in lieu of Antique License Plates issued by the county. If the application is mailed, the applicant
must have the license plates examined at their local County Tax Office before submitting the
application. The license plates must be Texas plates, the same year as the year model of the antique
vehicle, be in good readable condition, and have the correct color scheme.
