Texas, like Virginia, is a two-license-plate state. The Austin, Texas, Statesman reports that someone wants to change all that, but only if you have the wherewithalls.
Rep. Ken King, R-Canadian (a small town in the Texas panhandle—ed.), is pushing House Bill 673, which adds one category to the current list of vehicles exempt from the front-plate requirement. In addition to “a road tractor, a motorcycle, a trailer, (and) a semitrailer,” King wants to add “luxury passenger car” to section 504.943 of the Texas Transportation Code.
