Does Texas require a front license plate?

Do I have to get a front license plate after moving to Texas? I’ve never lived in a state that requires a front plate before, but I’ve been seeing them everywhere after my move.

Yes,
Texas
requires a front license plate by law. If you register your vehicle in Texas and fail to display a front license plate, you’ll face a $200 fine each time you’re caught by a police officer or parking official.
If you don’t have a bracket at the front of your car, don’t worry! You can attach one using:
  • A drill and some screws
  • A strong adhesive
  • Industrial strength velcro
