Re: Texas, no front license plate, passes House
holy sheet that's good news! I hate driving my car around with no front license plate and always knowing the cops have a reason to pull me over if they want to be jerks. I hate even more the way a vette looks with a plate on the front so I just choose the first option and hope for the best. FTP!!!
