Default Hey Guys...New to the SA and H-town Area

I just moved here recently, and dont know much about the fine state of Tx. Is it a requirement to have a plate in front? I just moved from Wyoming, and the state law up there doesnt require you to have a plate in front.

Would some one help me out?

Thanks in advance.

It really all depends on the cop. It is state law to have one, but not alot cops actually do unless they are suspicious about you. I know it sux but oh-well.

Welcome to TX....

It is state law to have it. You can get pulled over for it, but most cops will not pull you for it. They will just add it on to your ticket if they get you for anything else. I got pulled for speeding and they added the front plate ticket to that.

I just put the plat on the car, took a photo and went to court. Got it dismissed and then took the plate back off.

First things I would do if I moved to Texas from out of state....

Hit a titty bar...we have alot.

then after you've had a few (don't over do it), then head to SGP if you have any money left. lol. Boobies and fast cars....yummy.

fck a front plate...I haven't had one on the Z...EVER....I have yet to get a ticket for it and I've been pulled over twice in the Z. It is illegal...just don't put it on the dash...5-0 looks for that.

Dallas is nice but I prefer Austin. I was in Dallas last weekend and I wasnt impressed, its like a maze and the highways suck IMO. But you guys do have a killer downtown area

That's pretty much Houston...drive 5 minutes East and you are officially in the city limits. About 25 minutes from SGP...make your first stop there....be warned...you will be addicted to modding once you leave.
