Default whats the deal with license plate frames in texas

i hear its illegal to have license plate frames, and that their pulling people over and giving them tickets...but i havent seen it on the news and dont know anyone who has gotten this ticket. i see license plate frames every day on most cars. o-reily still sells them, and dealerships still put them on cars.

whats the answer? are they illegal or not?

the reason i ask is because im looking at plate lighting options for my rollpan and the billet lighted license plate frames look like my best option. i wanted to use the led license bolts but i will have a flip down plate and dont know if the wiring would work with the plate bracket.

I read the law on that, and if I remember correctly....as long as it doesn't cover the information on the plate, it's fine.

I'll see if I can find it real quick....

IMO those belong on ricer's....

But, I've said this a hundred times, maybe not to you, but to plenty of others: It's your truck, do what make YOU happy, everybody has different taste's.

Some people don't like my esky handles, they say it look's "too blingy", well, it's my truck, I like them

Illegal....
you can get a ticket for those as well...
if the cop is feeling shitty enough,
expecially if you have been racing and he wants to hit for a few other items to add to the list
