SAN ANTONIO — Attention, Alamo City faithful.

For the first time, a San Antonio-themed Texas license plate is available from the Department of Motor Vehicles that reads “ALAMO TX”. The vanity plate is a part of an auction held by MyPlates, which is under contract with the DMV, which includes 20 American city-themed license plates such as Chicago, Dallas and New York.

The bidding started at $1,000 Tuesday and runs through March 3. The winner of each plate will choose from 30 different plate designs and have the rights to the vanity plate for 10 years.
