New law in TX as of Sept 1, front plate required
I heard that as of Sept 1 Texas requires a front license plate. The fine is something like $200. Anybody been hassled by The Man for not having a front plate? I wonder what they'll do for all those people who threw them away?

we've had this law in california for as long as i can remember. i did get busted for it once about 15 years ago on my mustang, by a meter maid who was no doubt below their quota for the month. i had taken the plate and bracket off because it made the mustang look cooler, but i misplaced them so i couldn't put them back on to just pay the $10 fix it ticket. so instead i sent a letter to the DMV saying that someone backed into my car breaking the license plate bracket, and i ordered a new bracket but it is on backorder. it was a total lie. anyway, they waived the ticket and i never put the plate back on.

Looks like your legislature was busy, quite a few new regs for your roads:

HB 625 clarifies that the penalty for operating a vehicle on a public highway without displaying the two license plates assigned to the vehicle is a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine not to exceed $200.

I was pulled over by the DPS last summer for no front tag. I still have the tag, just not in my rig at the time.
He asked what happened to it, I told him it got knocked off when I was trail riding.
He let me go with a warning.
I got one of those brackets that attaches to the winch and put the plate back on.
