All of the above is technically correct. Although, not running a front plate in an area where it is required by law is illegal, thus not allowing you to refuse the interaction with the police. Every time I've been pulled over, my goal was to avoid the ticket and make the stop as short as possible. The best way to do that is to comply with reasonable police requests and not break his balls too badly. While I could flex my rights, I have a feeling that you may go from discussing them with an officer to discussing them with a judge. Even if everything is dismissed, you still went to court (or jail) and wasted your time.
Texas inadvertantly removed the penalty for no front plate because our legislators didn't proof-read something, but you'll still have to talk to the police when they pull you over for it.
