Of course, it doesn't specify exactly where the two license plates have to be displayed.

However....this is "D" of Section 1:

(d) A court may dismiss a charge brought under Subsection (a)(1) if the defendant:
(1) remedies the defect before the defendant's first court appearance; and
(2) pays an administrative fee not to exceed $10.

That stinks! I was happy without the penalty. I guess I will have to start thinking about a front plate.
