It stays in the trunk lol. Texas has front plates, but police don't care if you use them or not. In over 5 years of driving in Texas, no one in my family has gotten a ticket for no front plate (been stopped and ticketed for multiple other things, but even when stopped for something else, they never even mention it).

It's not really worth it for them to ticket you for it. Tickets for vehicle equipment are "Fix-it" tickets, which means you can remedy the defect and have an officer inspect it and sign off on the ticket. So basically, if I do get a ticket for no front plate, I can just zip-tie it to the grille, go to the courthouse, and have someone inspect it, and then I can get it tossed for a $10 fee.

In Russia, you can be stripped of your driver's license for such a thing.)))))
In Texas you can't lose your license for equipment violations, only moving violations like speeding, reckless driving, etc. But even in these cases, you need to have 4 tickets in 12 months. However, you can get 2 tickets per year expunged from your record, so in reality its more like 6 tickets in 12 months. In addition to this a lot of places have policies that allow for warnings, for example, Fort Worth police have a 2 warning policy, so that brings it up to 8 total offences in 12 months. As a result, you basically only lose your license if you drive drunk (even then, it's usually a temporary suspension for like 90 days or so for a first offense).
Емкость В Техасе вы не можете лишиться прав за нарушение правил использования оборудования, только за нарушение правил дорожного движения, например за превышение скорости, неосторожное вождение и т. д. Но даже в этих случаях вам нужно получить 4 штрафа за 12 месяцев. Однако вы можете добиться снятия 2 штрафов в год, так что на самом деле вам нужно получить 6 штрафов за 12 месяцев. Кроме того, во многих местах действуют правила, предусматривающие вынесение предупреждений. Например, в полиции Форт-Уэрта действует правило двух предупреждений, то есть всего за 12 месяцев можно совершить до 8 правонарушений. В результате вы лишаетесь прав только в том случае, если садитесь за руль в нетрезвом виде (даже в этом случае за первое нарушение обычно временно лишают прав на 90 дней или около того).
very interesting))) How does the Texas police react to cars with tinted front windows? (In Russia, this can result in up to 15 days of arrest)
It depends on the city/county, but it would either be a "Fix-it" ticket (remove the tint and ticket gets thrown out for a small fee), or it could be a fine up to ~$300. However, Texas does allow for medical exemptions, so if you want front window tint you can just go to the eye doctor, say that the sun makes your eyes sore, and they will give you a note that allows you to tint the front windshield (when you get pulled over you show the officer the note).
Емкость Это зависит от города/округа, но в любом случае это будет либо «исправительный» штраф (уберите тонировку, и штраф будет аннулирован за небольшую плату), либо штраф в размере до ~300 долларов. Однако, Тexas допускает медицинские льготы, поэтому, если вы хотите подкрасить лобовое стекло, вы можете просто пойти к окулисту, сказать, что у вас болят глаза от солнца, и он выдаст вам справку, которая позволяет вам подкрасить лобовое стекло (когда вас останавливают, вы показываете справку полицейскому).
Thank you for your response, it was interesting to read)
