its been around for ahile now it depends where u are and if the cops are a-holes i have been pulled over 2x in Plano and once in Grand prairie

so if i get ticket for no plate could i use this as a reference at court and mayb fight against them so the whole city dont give tickets for this stupid thing?

you could try that...

Or just tape the liscense plate on for a photo op and drive it to the court like that so the ticket gets dismissed. Much easier.

It's a bill that AFAIK wasn't actually enacted. Meaning it was proposed but not made into law.

So cops cant get u ticketed for this? i wonder why they bother pulling pple over then or its just a reason to pull over and then maybe get u for sumpthin else.....(the reason i pulled you over was for no front license plate...but forget that im more interested in the beer bottle btwn your console

)

No, meaning that TX has had a front plate law for years and should still have one. AFAIK they have always been able to and can pull you over simply for not having a front plate.

TX has had an open container law since ~ 1995 and AFAIK they don't have to have a reason to pull you over. If they suspect you of DUI based on behavior they can pull you over. If you have an open container in your car you're going to be in deep **** no matter what.

Dfwbb6 · 09-27-2007, 02:29 PM

yeah i know the open container one(i was goofing off on that) but the front plate thing is kinda subjective what about people who drive corvettes and cars that dont generally have that slot for the plate?????

dfwblackls · 09-27-2007, 02:54 PM

the law is the law... there is a front plate mounting kit even for the corvette...

petern101 · 09-27-2007, 03:46 PM

...and i have been pulled over for having no front plate on a C5 AND got the ticket.

it just sucks because you see so many cars w/o the front plate. its just another thing to get ya for.

Fr33duB · 09-27-2007, 08:46 PM

I just recently got ticketed for not having a front plate. I had to go buy the mounting kit and everything on top of paying the fine...

blutec · 09-27-2007, 11:57 PM

i wonder if i can use the excuse i rear ended someone and i dont know what happened to the plate O.o

snotshake · 09-28-2007, 10:33 AM

Yeah, life's been crazy. Got the EBP earlier this year, it's an '01 SH, couldn't pass it up.

SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act regarding the
issuance of license plates by the Texas Department of
Transportation applies only to the issuance of license plates by
the department for a registration period beginning on or after the
effective date of this Act. For a registration period that begins
before the effective date of this Act, the department shall issue
license plates as required by the law in effect immediately before
the effective date of this Act, and the former law is continued in
effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2007.

bold is registered after sept 1 =1 plate
underlined is registered before sept 1 = 2 plates

just registered mine and only got one plate

sean1121 · 10-01-2007, 05:28 PM
