Has anyone tried to get there no front plate ticket dismissed by taking a picture of your car with the front plate and taking it to court.How are the judges from the Dairy Ashford court house the one by westheimer and richmond are they very strict.

 

i tried and it didnt work the judge said he couldn't dismiss it i would have to do trial by judge or jury but its worth a shot i took a pic and he said he didnt have time to look a pics.

 

in Arlington they send an officer out to your car real quick and if he verifies then you just pay the court cost

 

well I went to court today and the front plate ticket got dismissed I took the pictures and judge look at them plus they said the front plate law went thru because i asked the judge.

 

Glad you got out of the ticket.
That is also some great news about the front plate law.

 

sounds good cabesas

 

So the law now does not require a front plate? Tell me that is true

 

are you 1,000,000% sure? because i'm about to go outside and take mine off..

do you know the judges name/precinct?

 

They didn't change the front plate law as far as I know.

 

this happened today though...

hope he's right, i just put my plate cover on

the plate is still there though.

 

Anybody know the inside scoop on this. I am also very curious if the front LP is no longer required.

 

Law still says 2 are required:


§ 502.404. OPERATION OF VEHICLE WITHOUT LICENSE PLATE OR
REGISTRATION INSIGNIA. (a) A person commits an offense if the
person operates on a public highway during a registration period a
passenger car or commercial motor vehicle that does not display two
license plates, at the front and rear of the vehicle, that have
been:
(1) assigned by the department for the period; or
(2) validated by a registration insignia issued by the
department that establishes that the vehicle is registered for the
period.

 

yeah, didn't pass....I went to a legislative update before I left. I still run one plate on the rear....the front plate sucks in my opinion.

 

I have been ticketed twice for speeding. Each time was less than 5 miles over the speed limit. Both times I did not have a front plate and nothing was said. This was in the Fort Worth area. It probably depends on who pulls you over and what their mood is for the day.

 

It has been my experience over the course of my career that the "no front plate" ticket is usually used as a reason to stop a car. Its not really enforced but if I wanted to stop a car and they had no front plate I would use it and then cite the driver to cover my ***.

Its mostly just a harassment tactic or a stat builder for the "stat" driven departments out there.

 

The judges name was esmeralda garcia it was court no. 18 it was the court on Dairy Ashforf by Richmond they told they have been trying to pass the law for years now and supposely they said it passed and dont if is true or not but they told it was.No matter what I dont think i'm going to put my front plate.
