Texas DOT-Issued Toll Road Transponders Illegal

They obscure the front license plate.

The Austin, Texas, American Statesman reported last week that toll-road transponders issued by the state and mounted on front bumpers through holes in license plates obscure enough of the plates to break the law.

Of the 200,000 transponders issued, only a few hundred are mounted on the bumper, said the American Statesman, and a number of bills are pending in the Legislature that would amend the law to allow for the transponders.
