Texas front license plate
I couldn't find anything searching but after meeting several of you last week at Posado's ... someone mentioned that the law was recently passed that no longer requires a front license plate for Texas motor vehicles.
Can anyone cite any laws or other info that shows this law was passed? I can't find anything concrete.

I got pulled over for speeding and caught a rash of **** for not having it. I've thought for awhile now that they get really pissed when they are aiming their laser and cant aim at your license plate. I asked the cop if that's why I needed it and he admitted that they aim at it but said it is required for saftey. Whatever.

Oh Hugh and JD you guys are the heught of just too muchery. What would I do without you guys to keep me honest. Man there is nothing like NEVER HAVING EVER GOTTEN A TICKET IN THE G! It feels good to be a good upstanding citzen who obeys the law and never speeds. I only use my 415 rwhp and 378 ft/lb tq to GET TO the speed limit really fast. Of course once i'm there i never go over it. I always use my turn signals......and never......ever.......race Porsche Turbos with hot blondes in them.

There seems to have been a recent push to get people pulled for no front plate. I have had a ton of friends complain about being pulled after not having a front plate for X number of years.
Personally, I think it depends on the city and your style of driving. I live in Plano and usually drive reasonably and I haven't gotten pulled. However, friends in Plano claim they have been getting pulled like crazy.
on the other hand, most everyone agrees that the cops in Dallas are chill and never pull for no front plate, but ironically that's the only city where I have been pulled over for not having a front plate. Go figure?
if you are really nervous about it, get the hide-away setup that TheDizzle bought. It's clean, totally hidden, and frankly badass to use haha..

Got a ticket because the cop said, "You were warned back in March of 2007 for not having a front plate. It's time for a ticket." Three years ago?! Srsly!
Ended up paying a $20 fix-it ticket by zip tying my plate to the intercooler. The clerk actually sat and watched me cut the zip ties and take the plate off again before leaving the parking lot, lol.
I think it's stupid.

I don't really understand the need for a front plate. In my opinion, the law is worthless given the existence of the FixIt Ticket program. The $10 to have it dismissed is NOT doing much of anything for our city. I'm certainly not complaining about FixIt, but why bother having the law at all? It seems clear to me that it is nothing more than a way to legally pull someone over in hopes that they can find something else.
I have also heard people claim that if you don't have a front bracket for a plate (like pretty much all of us) that you are exempt from this since they "cant force you to drill holes in your bumper". This is NOT true. The law is the law and the cop won't give a smooth fart if you don't have the bracket. Either you have the front plate mounted or you don't. There aren't any exceptions or "luxury car" clauses.
