oops! texas drivers don't need plates on their cars!

Well, it's illegal to not have plates, but there is no fine for not having them.
Way to go Texas!

Don't know about plates but you damned sure better not be in the Rio Grande valley of you liscense plate light is burnt out.

Hey I learned a new one the other day, MO fine for not wearing a motor cycle helmet is 25 dollars, but it is 250 if you are wearing an unapproved helmet.

 

Just read the article....I was hoping it'd say that we only need a rear one! I HATE the look of a license plate on the front of my cars. My wife got pulled over three times within a month and made me put her plate on her Yukon hahaha.

 

Road Farmer I been getting away without a front plate as long as I have been driving. I have been questioned and or lectured about them on several occaisions.

hey do they still have front and rear specific truck plates in Texas?

 

antique plates = 1 plate for the rear. will switch to a set of 1951 original yellow texas plates i've had sitting in my garage sometime in december.

 

Not on the new plates. I think the front/rear specific plates were from a long time ago. I don't have one on my o/t daily, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time till I get a ticket. I thought about getting one of those electric flip down actuators for my plate, but not worth the effort or money

 

I don't think they bother the classic car guys though, so that's cool.

 

I was in texas in the '80s. I asked a county mounty about it and he said it was so you couldn't give your front plate to someone to run on their truck. Probably cost too much to keep up.
