In the last five years, I have been pulled over just once for not having a front license plate and I was sent on my way with a warning. So, should you run out and get a front license plate if you don’t have one? While the legal answer is “yes,” the practical answer is “it depends.” Similarly, vehicles purchased in other states are unlikely to have front license plates. Manufacturers of many vehicles don’t even have pre-installed brackets (and sometimes even a convenient spot) for front license plates. However, if you drive anywhere in Texas, you will see a huge number of vehicles without front license plates – and they may pass right by an officer and not get stopped. Not having a front license plate means an officer has probable cause the stop you at any time, and you may receive a citation for failure to display a license plate. Texas is a two-plate state, which means drivers are supposed to have a license plate on the front and back of their vehicle.
