Fellas, this is a total bogus story. I checked it out on Snopes, urban legend site. All texas did was clarify their "obscured license plate law".

I happen to agree with the State of Texas...with their
"Obscured License Plate Law"...It has always been the Law in ALL States...When the brackets first came out the were rather unobtrusive...Now you can't even make out what
State the car is from...most of it them are just free advertizing for
car dealerships...and look like garbage...

As I understand it, and after talking with a local police officer, it refers to the obscured license plate law that has been on the books. The new law gave the local authorities the ability to levy higher fines (a new form of taxation?).

As far as Marvin Zindler, well..... didn't he have something to do with the Chicken Ranch being shut down? Who would listen to him?
