Not to my knowledge. I drive around like this all the time and never have a problem I have even asked cops about it and they said its not something they would know how to cite. You are not required to have mud flaps either, so yeah. I know 3 guys with tube fenders on the front of their jeeps and they never have problems....by law you only have to have a rear view mirror the sides are not required, nor is a windshield afaik, though windshield wipers are. It would be different if my rear plate was on the bumper, but since its on the hatch its all good. I dont even have my front plate on, and my tails have been tinted for awhile without any problems, of course they are pretty light to begin with.are there no laws about bumpers in TX?
