Now, if I can just find the bleeding thing!
^The Miata never had one, nor anywhere to put one. I think I saw the Elements plate in the back, but my wife drives the Element so its ok, theyll let her off with a warning. I guess im screwed...
WOOHOO! Happy Day!
The DPS officer that patrols Fannin County pulled me over once for that... it was a slow day... plus I think he wanted to check out the car ;) He gave me several complements on it.
Other than that the only time I get pulled over for it is over in Honey Grove. It seems those small town cops don't have much to do!
It'll be nice to not have to worry about the hassle.

Thank God, good thing I did not spend the money on a front bracket. Right now my front plate is in the trunk...
Interestingly... when I go look at this ( http://tinyurl.com/9lj9u ) it states Nov 1, 2005 as the start date.Quote:

SECTION 9.01. Subchapter A, Chapter 502, Transportation
Code, is amended by adding Section 502.010 to read as follows:
Sec. 502.010. ISSUANCE AND DISPLAY OF LICENSE PLATE. (a)
Notwithstanding anything in this code to the contrary, including
Section 502.180, the department shall issue only one license plate
for attachment at the rear of the vehicle for which the plate is
issued.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this code to the contrary,
including Section 502.404(a), a person is entitled to operate on a
public highway a vehicle that displays only one license plate if the
plate is attached at the rear of the vehicle. A person may operate
on a public highway a vehicle that displays two license plates if
both plates were assigned by the department for the registration
period as a set of plates.
(c) In any provision of this code that relates to the
issuance or display of "license plates," "plates," or a "set of
plates," the term means only one license plate.
SECTION 9.02. The change in law made by this article
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 article. For a registration period that
begins before the effective date of this article, the department
shall issue license plates as required by the law in effect
immediately before the effective date of this article, and the
former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 9.03. This article takes effect November 1, 2005.
Ahhh...6 months to dodge the Five-0.
As much as I hate to do this.....maybe I''ll get those suction cups for the plate inside the windshield temporally...True ricer style... :smile:
The law now states that the plate has to be on the extreme forward part of the car....Quote:

Cool!
Of course, if you look at section 10, they also just upped the annual registration fees for vehicles too...... :scratch:
Don't get too excited until we see the language that passed the Senate yesterday... The first draft didn't include the "no front plate" section...

It would also establish the Renewing Our Communities Account as an account in the General Revenue Fund that could only be appropriated to HHSC. The section creates the faith- and community-based initiatives advisory committee.
Fees still went up!
Of course! Fees always go up... Lots of activity yesterday, and still no Senate Journal at 5:20... Guess we'll just have to wait and see...Quote:

Well it is after Sep1 and we still have plates. I think the bill died, then got reintroduced but without some parts. Including no front plates. I dont know if the second try passed or not.
I heard that it got killed in the last revision.
