I heard that it had passed the House at this point. I have a front tag....I can think of better ways to spend the money than on a ticket; however, as soon as that puppy gets Senate approval, it's SO off (I'm pretty sure that's what's been dragging down my AX times )

Oh, I have a front tag also. I guess the difference is that mine is safely ensconced behind my seatback. And no ... I can't really afford the ticket either.

I had one until I got my grill insert last week... I had to remove it to install the thing and wasn't about to go cutting holes etc to put it back on.

Oh - do you happen to know the SB or HB number so we can keep an eye on it? Their website is actually pretty good for seeing the status of bills

I dont have mine on........i got a ticket for it in Grapevine in my EP hatch, I decided to risk it again and took the plates off on the S also. Seems like the cops dont pay attention to the S compared to my loud hatch...hahaha. They need to do away with this ridiculous law
