Why is “Blind” Lemon Jefferson on the Enjoy Texas Music license plate? The Enjoy Texas Music license plate features a portrait of Texas blues musician Lemon Jefferson (Sept. 24, 1893 to December 1929) who made 79 records for Paramount in the 1920s, each estimated to have sold 100,000+ copies. Jefferson is recognized as one of the earliest and best “down-home” blues artists, as well as perhaps the most popular male blues singer of the 1920s. He influenced Texas artists such as Leadbelly, Sam “Lightnin’” Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb, T-Bone Walker, and Charlie Christian, as well as B.B. King, Carl Perkins, Bob Dylan and the Beatles. Jefferson is a member of the Blues Foundation’s Hall of Fame (www.blues.org/halloffame) and his grave is an official Texas historical monument (http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us).

Why is there a musician on the Enjoy Texas Music license plate? Enjoy Texas Music license plates honor musicians who made Texas music what it is today, the pioneers who put Texas music on the map, so to speak, and who greatly and profoundly influenced young artists. We also seek to increase interest in Texas’ musical history. Every two years, there will be a different pioneer honored in a manner similar to the United States Postal Service’s Legends of American Music Series collection.

Who is the next musician going to be? The Texas Music Office seeks your input on the next honoree of the Enjoy Texas Music license plate; please email us your suggestions and comments to [email protected] or call us at 512-463-6666. (For a list of 500 possible honorees, please visit Texas Music Pioneers on page 437, or on the web at www.governor.state.tx.us/divisions/music/tour/pioneers.htm.)

How much does the Enjoy Texas Music license plate cost? This specialty plate has an annual fee of $30. Of this fee, $22 goes directly toward purchasing instruments or lessons for students.

When will I receive my Enjoy Texas Music license plate? Your plates should be ready within approximately two weeks of TxDOT’s receipt of your order. Your plates will be sent for you to pick up at your county tax office; please call in advance to make sure they have arrived. (To locate your county tax office, please visit www.dot.state.tx.us/vtr/tacoffices/tacoffices.htm)
