I agree..really hate the plate on there. I'm going to see if I can't get the new plate or just take this one off and see how long I can make it without getting pulled over

I ordered custom black TX plates here: MyPlates.com
There are TONS to choose from.

I got the black ones with the big white star and then sanded the white frame of the plate and painted it black. The result is a plate that is not too noticeable and blends in well with my skidplate. That's the route I'd suggest. That way you're legal but don't have an eyesore in the middle of your new bumper.

Custom plates are the first mod that should be done in Texas... hate that gay plate too. Might look half-ass on a blue truck... doubt it. Got mine from the same site. PlastiDip took only a few minutes, and along with a cool plate frame made the white edges go away

Ya know... Just start in on it. If you can't come up with anything ya like, you can always get a random assignment on the plate of your choice. You can only get 7 digit plates twice a year, max is 6 the rest of the time?

I remember reading that the Texas legislature did accidently take out the language making it a crime for not having a front plate.

Here's one story about it.. Texas Lawmakers Accidentally Omit 2 License Plate Law

So far it hasn't been rectified yet as the legislature hasn't reconvened. Curious if they'll re-add the language making it a crime to run without a front plate or if they'll leave it off now. At least for now, you don't have to run a front plate in Texas.

Next session convenes January 8, 2013.. so a little less than a month.

You'll know 100% whether you'll have to have a front plate or not by the time session ends on May 27, 2013 at the very latest. Any law they change will be imposed either on the date its passed or August 26 at the very latest.

I'll be watching it closely. My work truck is Texas-tagged and I'm over there at least 3x a week.

I thought we could only have 6?
