Default More bad news.

Well, seeing how Micheal Jackson was aquited, sucks.....

I just got an email from an administrative aide from out local texas state goverment concerning the issues of the front license plate bill. Here Goes.

Sorry for more shitty news.




Representative Dawson passed your email along to me regarding HB 3540 and the provision pertaining to front license plates. HB 3540 did not pass, and while Representative Pitts did incorporate some provisions of his bill into SB 1863, the section regarding front license plates was not included. As such, it is still necessary to have two plates on your vehicle. I hope this clears up some of the confusion. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

**** Maybe it could get started up again as a bill all by itself so that it won't get shot down because of other stuff included in it.


SLPFormula, I like that idea

None for me. Had a few warnings, too. I have it on my truck, but I'd never defile the front of my Vette.

I dunno what some people complain about...I haven't had a front plate on my car since 1998...lol! Nobody ever bothered me about it. Not that I didn't get pulled over to the tune of 4-5 tickets a year for the first few years, but they just never bothered with the front license plate.
