Is the GM color matched license plate frame legal in Texas?

I thought everything was legal in Texas. 
But seriously.....the GM frame could cover a portion of the wheel tax (insert any other taxes) sticker, date sticker, or some part of the lettering on the plate which then makes it illegal in some states.
Color has nothing to do with it.

License plate frames cannot cover any part of the name of the state nor can it cover the state slogan.
I have the GM one on my NY plate and it is perfectly legal.

You be the judge:
Note that it does cover part of the "Texas" and part of the logo on the bottom. Never been stopped for it. For that matter, I have never been stopped for not having a front plate either.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to see/know!
I guess, if somebody wanted an excuse, this would be one. I plan on not having a front plate and do not want to push my luck on both plates.
Thanks,
Jeffrey

Well heck! I actually have a Corvette color matched frame on my CTS Cadillac (don't ask!). I never thought to look at that. I actually know a lady well who got a ticket for that when the law was passed. She was on the front page of the Houston Chronicle for it 
I'll have to look at mine tomorrow morning.
