Dude.. You got to run a front plate in Texas.. There is a huge protest brewing concerning vanity plates in Texas. The state has turned the service over to a third party, MyPlates, and the prices has surged to 4x the price on single year plates. A lot of folks are not renewing their plates. On the upside, plates that have been held for years are coming available..

Does TX have different plate designs that aren't a personalized type? I live near a military base, and I have seen a number of Texas plates and they don't all look the same. Are truck plates a different design from passenger car plates?
Here in WA, we have something like 18 different plate designs, from the standard plate to the new last week Seahawks plate.

I dunno, sometimes you just have to obey the law. A front plate is a small price to pay to keep from getting pulled over at the worst possible moment. Ya know, when you want to move that 10 kilos of blow I would suggest you put that plate on and make sure all your lights are working. Oh and wear your seatbelt!!

In texas if your car did not come from the factory with a front plate mounting provision a Front plate is not required. Vettes have a provision therefor you must run a front. My 06 DRT charger did not and did not require Me to run a front plate.
