Do I need a license plate on the front of the car in Texas?
yup. its suppose to be on the "front most part of the car" is what a cop told me whan he pulled me over thinking i didnt have a plate. i told him it was in the window on the passenger side and thats when he told me about the front most of the car. ihavent been pulled over though its still in the window. most cops wont bother you as long as its on the car. ive had my front plate on my truck on the dash against the window for 4/5years now and now problems. i put it there after i got pulled over late for not having a front plate. ive never had a ticket just warnings for it though! just another reason for them to check you out really.
There is a bill currently going thru. That would do away with the front plate. If it passes it will go into effect by semptember. State would save something like 8 million a year if they didn't make so many front plates! :O

I sign the thing two diff. time I hope it passed
yeah good ? i hit a F-150 i week or so ago and nailed his trailier hitch. Messed my plate up so i put it in the window and no problems as of yet( knock on wood).
Change is Currently in effect!!!
i dont have a front plate on my cav. and have yet to be pulled over yet. a friend of mine got pulled over for not having a plate but he didnt have one up front at all. i atleast have mine in the window. btw i live in williamson county (north of austin). i guess it depends on how far the county wants to go with giving people a hard time. who knows.
I NEED a 97-99 LD9 engine harness for an auto.PM if u hav info.!!
you shouldn't get a tkt for not having one. Your inspection sticker actually is technically a license plate. If you get a tkt all you have to do is show that you have one or the inspection sticker and the tkt gets dismissed.

You can follow the bill here
The House passed it originally with the No Front Plate. If you go to the web site and read all the admendments that the SENATE added to the bill, thats the reason why the house will not accept it now. The bill in its current form failed
Some other things that were in the Legislative Session that Passed, Sent to the Governor, and Failed.
Sent to the governor
Probation: Attempts to ease crowding at Texas prisons by reducing probation terms for felons from 10 years to five. After a probationer has served five years, a judge would review the case annually to determine whether to terminate the sentence.
Consent searches: Requires that drivers must give consent before police officers who do not have probable cause can search their vehicle.
Life without parole: Gives jurors the option of sentencing capital murder convicts to life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
Meth restrictions: Regulates over-the-counter sales of the pill form of pseudoephedrine, which is used to make methamphetamine. Requires drug wholesalers to report sales of pseudoephedrine and allows police to remove a child from a home where methamphetamine is being manufactured.
Crime lab: Creates the Texas Forensic Science Commission to investigate reports of problems at Texas crime labs.
Guns: Exempts recent military veterans from training requirements to receive a concealed handgun license.
Hunting and fishing: Waives license fees for active personnel and disabled veterans.
Obesity lawsuits: The so-called "cheeseburger bill" bans Texans from suing restaurants or food manufacturers for obesity-related health problems.
Jury pay: Sets juror pay at $40 a day, instead of the current $6.
Abortion: Requires a parent to provide written consent for unmarried girls under 18 to get an abortion. Also restricts doctors from performing abortions on women who have carried a child for more than 26 weeks unless having the baby would jeopardize the woman's life or the baby has serious brain damage.
Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway: Renames a portion of Interstate 20 from western Tarrant County to Grand Prairie for the former president.
Failed
Red-light cameras: Would have banned cities from using cameras to issue citations for red-light runners.
Front License Plate Removal.
Video gambling: Would have legalized and taxed video slot machines in Texas.
Lewd cheerleading: Would have banned "overtly sexually suggestive" routines by cheerleaders at school-sponsored events.
Medical marijuana: Would have created a defense to prosecution for patients who are being treated by a licensed physician and who use marijuana to relieve effects of a legitimate medical condition.
Cellphones in cars: Would have banned adult motorists from using a cellphone while driving unless it is used with a hands-free device.
Underage drinking: Would have made it illegal to serve alcohol to 21-year-olds before 7 a.m. on their birthday in an effort to prevent early-morning birthday binge drinking.
Keg registration: Would have required beer kegs to be labeled with a registration number and keg purchasers to fill out a form with their name, address and phone number and sign an agreement not to allow minors to drink its contents.
Signed by the governor
Asbestos lawsuits: A law allowing only those with serious illneses to sue companies for asbestos- and silica-related claims. Signed by Gov. Perry.
Hunting protection: A law allowing property owners to continue hunting on their land or leasing it out to hunters even if the land is annexed by a municipality that bans the discharge of firearms.
Headed for statewide referendum
Gay marriage: Would amend the state constitution to reflect that same-sex marriages are not recognized in Texas. Headed to voters in November..

^^Look above^^
It was passed by the house. But not the senate for a bill to become law it must pass thru both the HOUSE AND THE SENATE. Not just one.
