Well, there was a recent court case that went to the Texas Supreme Court where some drug dealer was trying to argue that the seizure was unlawful because the police didn't have probable cause after pulling him over because his front plate was located on his dash.
The judge told him the law means the front plate is required to be on the front bumper, and therefore the search and seizure was completely legal.
Which means that particular ruling is going to be used as precedent across Texas now. If your plate is anywhere other than your front bumper (like on your dash) then it's not legal and you may be ticketed.
As with any and all laws, enforcement is up to the officers. So, just be aware of this.
