Pearland cop pulled me over in front of my house for no front plates. Only gave me a verbal warning after I told him about the loophole. He said it doesn't matter and that next time he see's me without my plates he will give me a ticket.

A month later he see's me while pulling out of a different neighborhood and follows me into mine. He speeds up past me and pulls over the car in front of me. I slowed down because I didn't want to hit him as he's getting out of his cruiser. He looks at me with a face and I look at him saying in my head: "damn straight you can't do jack".

Front plates or not it's up to you personally. I put mine on eventually when I bought custom plates. Also to avoid the hassle of dealing with cops again.

If you put the license plate in the front passenger corner of the windshield, it does not obstruct your view. I know a few people who do this without any hassles. However, I never considered it because IMO it looks tackier in the windshield than on the front bumper. I'd rather not have it, but of those two options, I went with the front bumper

Bought a stillen bracket just in case the notorious Round Rock police department decides to give me crap about it. Since I'm taking the toll road less, I find myself crossing paths with many of them.

that's how I got out of a ticket once when leaving the Twisted Sisters near SA... (he picked ME out of the a group of 10... )

I told him I had it in the hatch, so I asked him if he wanted me to put it on the car. He said yeah, so I popped that sucker on and he let me go with a verbal warning

My understanding is it is legal. But to be fair, I've only heard that from someone I trusted. I have not looked into for myself.

It is not legal as far as the policy goes, but there is also no penalty according to the TX Penal Code. Someone messed up a little more than a year ago when they updated the laws and penal codes.

It's funny because I had a cop tell me that he was going to write me a 100 dollar ticket at the gate at Fort Hood. He also stated that it isn't his job to debate the penal code, but it is to enforce the law. I told him that that was fine and he could write me the ticket if he want's to waste our time and tax payer's money. He told me to just put it up in my windshield and he would call it even, so I did to avoid any further badgering. Just so that everyone knows, it only states that the license plate be displayed at the FRONT of the vehicle (windshield qualifies for that) and that I cannot be obstructed. This means that the letters and numbers be clearly visible and the word TEXAS can be read as well.

There is a law against having things on your windshield though. I had a discussion with an officer about that as well and stated that it should be illegal to put the inspection, registration, military base sticker, and TX Tag on it as well. He had nothing to say and stated that he was watching me.................lol!

Just as an aside to the last part. I think the reason for the tags being on the windshield was to prevent any chance of theft and probably to aid in visibility when you pass an officer head on.

Still though, stuff is tacky as hell...

you cannot have your plate on the dash no matter what. period.... ive been dealing/battling w my local police for 17 years on this crap. just put it on the front and be done with it.

every time ive been pulled over in the 370 the cops walk up front to see if there was a plate.
