I just saw this is this true?

"not having a front plate is NOT illegal in Texas anymore as of 7 days ago"

 

I'm pretty sure the date was September 1st!

 

I thought it got shot down again and that a front plate is still mandatory?

Someone please confirm.

I haven't been running a plate for the longest, but it'd be nice to know just incase.

 

What?!!! Is it really true? Where did you find this out?

 

I am searching!! I am searching I cant find anything stating that the Law has changed

 

i am not sure where i read it, but with all the NEW cars coming out without provisions for front plates they had to do away with it.

 

I dont see anything about this anywhere. Even on the DPS Website. So as far as I can tell you still need a front license plate until someone can come up with something showing we cant!

 

Someone should call and verify!

 

Not real specific, but i ran a search on this website and found out that you still need two plates, but not necassarily on the front


i may have been wrong.

 

lol in that case put the both on the back

NO officer I do have to plates look one is behind the other one

read it now this thread will get locked soon....

 

I dont know if its true or not, but my friend got a ticket last Tuesday for no front plate.... yesterday another friend of mine got a warning for no front plate... so I don't know if they are passing it or not!

I hope they do!

 

so its gone no more front license plate?????

 

where did you find this?

 

from one of the above threads
" 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.
