I just looked on the Texas Legislature for anything regarding front license plates and the ONLY item listed is an amendment that states that 2 license plates are required and that the front license plate must be right side up etc....
I looked for the bill and amendment stated in one of the previous responses and found nothing on Texas Legislature online except something for autism.
There is nothing that says that you cannot have a front plate. The dealerships need to get this clarified with the state legislature.
I think we are all clueless and there is no clarification.
