Did they pass a law in texas saying that you dont have to have a front license plate? A law man pulled me over but mine was in the windsheild so he let me go.

Law states that it is supposed to be on the most forward and the most rear part of the vehicle. Meaning on the the front and rear bumpers. I have mine in my windshield and get let go all the time, but u never know when that one Jack *** State pulls u over and gives you the ticket. Its about 175 bucks.

I wouldn't put on any plate frames or covers, my brother got pulled over for the one that came on his brand new truck.

Can you provide a link that states this? From my understanding, the law states something to the fact of forward facing and nothing about the "most forward" portion of a vehicle.

I ran without a front plate for 4 years without a problem. I won't run one on my next car either.

thats exactly what i have heard from cops...but they also said as long as i have it in the window i could at least get off with just a warning. I still dont want to mess with it at all so i just said to hell with it and keep my front plate on. Dont plan on them scrapping this law anytime soon, its easy money and also an easy excuse for cops to pull you over and write you up for other ****.

I know it (no front plate) has come up for voting before and has been rejected. I know it went back up for voting again recently, not sure if it's been voted on yet though.
