I havnt had one for a couple year now and never have been stopped.
But I dont think a petition is going to change the law.

No........that's what petitions do........change the law, provided
that enough signatures are gathered to place it on a ballot or referendum.

It won't be changed anytime soon. I've got a friend whose father is a Tx State Senator, and he's said that it's been informally discussed, but most feel it's too important for identification and for revenue as far as a flat surface for lasers to hit. They really don't care about the fact that many cars don't have a true mouting area. His quote: "It's the law, they should follow it."

Texas repealed the helmet law, so we know that laws can be changed.

On top of that, a net peition brought back Family Guy, so hey, there's no shame in trying.

You should be ok. I don't think the law applies to a vehicle that didn't come with the provisions. However, I know most vehicles come with a kit, just incase you live in a state that requires a front plate. Every vehicle I have bought (15) has either come with one, or had the kit that comes with the vehicle.

Tx law states ALL vehicles....they don't car how you attach it as long as it's on there and visible.
