I'm not a cop, lawyer, or a very smart guy... however, the front plate thing has been on my mind since before I got my camaro... there was no way I was gonna be reported to CPS for child abuse(mounting front plate)...
I did find the following from the TXDPS site:
http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/vi/Misc/faq/insp_faq.htm
License Plates
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.
*This guidance is referenced in TXDOT's requirements to properly display the registration certificate. DPS does not inspect the license plate itself, but instead inspects the license plate lamp.
