Ugly Registration Sticker, Do I have To?

Yes, you have to place it on the windshield.

Texas Transportation Code
TRANSPORTATION CODE CHAPTER 502. REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES


Sec. 502.059. ISSUANCE OF REGISTRATION INSIGNIA. (a) On payment of the prescribed fee an applicant for motor vehicle registration shall be issued a registration insignia.

(b) On application and payment of the prescribed fee for a renewal of the registration of a vehicle through the period set by rule, the department shall issue a registration insignia for the validation of the license plate or plates to be attached as provided by Subsection (c).

(c) Except as provided by Subsection (f), the registration insignia for validation of a license plate shall be attached to the inside of the vehicle's windshield, if the vehicle has a windshield, in the lower left corner in a manner that will not obstruct the vision of the driver. If the vehicle does not have a windshield, the owner, when applying for registration or renewal of registration, shall notify the department, and the department shall issue a distinctive device for attachment to the rear license plate of the vehicle.

NOTE: (f) is for motorcycles.

 

What is the penalty for failing to display the sticker?

 

A buddy of mine used to put his stickers on a piece of acrylic about the same size as the sticker, and attach the acrylic to the windshield with some kind of putty or rubber glue. That way, he could remove it whenever he wanted but it looked legit.

 

There is also a vinyl sheet product you can buy that you can apply your sticker to and make it removable.

 

It is removable as is with an exacto knife.

 

Just get a clear piece of plastic....

Hell, you can even punch a hole and use a suction cup, to hang it!

No one cares, but to cruise with it in the glove box is a hugely bad idea, they will be looking for it, to match your normal plates.

 

Boy, talk about first world problems.

Get a hunk of mylar, attach it to the mylar, static will take care of the rest, rub the mylar, stick to the windshield and away you go.

I actually love Texas registration stickers, because they include the car's serial number.

Nice quote at the bottom

 

This is the stuff I was talking about. You apply the sticker to this stuff and you will be able to move the sticker from car to car. Over and over again. I've been using the product for years in order to move parking/ID stickers from car to car, and to make city stickers easy to remove from the corners of difficult, steeply raked windshields.
