Texas resident here, and yes there is a mistake in the law covering current plate regulations. You are still required to have one, but during a rewrite in June of 2011 they left out the punishment\fine portion. It's a punishable offense - but with no stated punishment. I suspect that will be remedied as soon as possible. The dealer didn't put a front plate on my car, so I certainly haven't bothered. Not sure what I'll do when the state corrects their mistake.
