How many people in Texas don't run a front license plate? I know by law we are supposed to have one but do the cops really care about it? I dont want to tarnish the look of my MINI

 

I've always had a plate, but then early Coopers had a perfect spot for one and all the R56 are better-suited for one. On an '03 MCS, the 'no-holes" mount seems to be a favorite...it uses the tow-hook.

 

use the tow hook one and not worry about it. Some cops look for the little things to pull you over.

Probably jinxing myself but here goes. Never had one, never will. 19 driving years and counting. Never been a problem. Oh and I've been stopped, ALOT.lol

BTW: Did everyone sign the "No front plate" petition? http://www.petitiononline.com/txplate/petition.html

 

we have a no front plate law in effect.... you have to pay for it and you get a different color plate for the rear than is typical. My brother used to work state inpection for emission/safety for vehicles here in Harris county he said it has been effect since Nov 06.... Thank God he is a Surgical Assist now but oh how I miss passing inpsections with a bad car.

EDIT2: Sorry for the messy post. As you have read, according to this if you've been issued two plates you have to run them.... if not or you get new plates you can run one if so issued
