And, as you can tell by Scotts answer above....you don't NEED to go anywhere else to order it just because of a license plate braket.

While checking the Texas Department of Public Safety site I came across this:
How many license plates am I required to display?
State law requires that you display two (2) license plates, one to the front and one to the rear. Placement or mounting of license plates is not defined.

( here is the

The Statute is part of the
transportation code found in 502.404 which in part states:
§ 502.404. OPERATION OF VEHICLE WITHOUT LICENSE PLATE OR
REGISTRATION INSIGNIA. (a) A person commits an offense if the
person operates on a public highway during a registration period a
passenger car or commercial motor vehicle that does not
display two
license plates, at the front and rear of the vehicle, that have
been:
(1) assigned by the department for the period; or
(2) validated by a registration insignia issued by the
department that establishes that the vehicle is registered for the
period.
(b) A person commits an offense if the person operates on a
public highway during a registration period a passenger car or
commercial motor vehicle, other than a vehicle assigned license
plates for the registration period, that does not properly display
the registration insignia issued by the department that establishes
that the license plates have been validated for the period.
(c) A person commits an offense if the person operates on a
public highway during a registration period a road tractor,
motorcycle, trailer, or semitrailer that does not

(2) validated by a registration insignia issued by the
department that establishes that the vehicle is registered for the
period.

no where in the statute could I find info that states "furthest mostest farthest point". There is a section that talks about the license plate not being altered or blocked from view. BTW this is only the
TEXAS Transportation code
