Supposedly, in Texas the front plates are required, but for the
ten years I lived in Texas, I never got in trouble for not having
one on my car. Even after being stopped by the cops on several
occasions, I never got a ticket for the missing front plate, just a
friendly warning about possible 200 $ fines. I guess that most cops
just don't want to take the time to write someone up for something so
trivial. Now, if they get specific orders from the chief, who has
decided to purchase on of the infamous radar-equipped Blazers.....
