Texas Department of Criminal Justice Partial Lockdown

Please review and distribute as appropriate.

This is to notify you of a delay in fulfilling specialty license plate and warehouse supply orders.  The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Wynne Unit in Huntsville is under partial lockdown status through this week and possibly the end of next week. 

TDCJ has provided a small workforce, so all warehouse supply orders (forms, license plates, and disabled placards) are being processed but may be delayed up to two days.  However, while specialty license plate orders also are being processed, there is an approximate 10-day manufacturing delay due to increased specialty plate order volume and the reduced workforce.  If you receive inquiries from customers who have ordered their specialty plate online, please assure them that their specialty plate will be manufactured but, due to the delay, it may be another week or so before they are sent to the tax office.

We will provide another update on the status of all orders once the lockdown is over.

Thank you,
