Well, the State of Texas clarified the law, and it goes into effect tomorrow:

"HB 625 clarifies that the penalty for operating a vehicle on a public highway without displaying the two license plates assigned to the vehicle is a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine not to exceed $200."

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

Here's the final word:

SECTION 1. Section 504.943, Transportation Code, is amended
by adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
(e) An offense under this section is a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine not to exceed $200.


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.
