I have been told that the Texas plate originated with the Texas Centennial in 1936 (massive MP magazine coverage of the centennial… need to check if there is any confirmation of that story). Supposedly after the event, T&P always ordered that variety, and indeed some are dated into late 40s. As far as I know the Texas plate never carried a RR backstamp.
