Assuming license plates must follow specific alpha-numeric formats, Texas issues plates with a format "AB 1234 C", where 'A', 'B', and 'C' are letters, and '1234' are digits. California, however, issues plates in the format "1ABC 234", where 'A', 'B', 'C' are letters and '1', '234' are digits. Assuming all 10 digits and all 26 letters are equally likely to appear in their respective positions, calculate how many more license plates can Texas issue than California.
