Has anyone from Texas picked up their truck from Mark Dodge and received their license plates yet? I’ve called a few times and they said everything looks good and nothing to do on my end. I’m starting to think I need to get it inspected or something. (Not putting Mark Dodge on blast just checking consensus.)

No inspection needed in Texas starting Jan and nothing for 2 years on brand new cars/trucks. I’m waiting for my plates also!
 
Ok, glad I'm not the only one waiting. My temp expires 3/10 so still got a couple weeks. My county still requires emission testing but yea nice to not have safety inspections.

Bought my Tungsten from MD. I actually got my plates yesterday. They were held up because while an inspection was not required, my county (Ellis) requires a smog test for all cars to be registered, even new ones. MD was not aware of my county’s requirements so I never had it smog tested. I ended up having to get the smog test, MD sent me a fedex label and I sent them the hard copy of the results. I got my plates a couple of weeks after mailing the smog test to them.

I'm thinking this is my issue. Thanks

No inspection is needed, but if the truck is registered in Ellis, Harris, Travis, or Dallas county you will still have to get a smog test to register your car.

They can get you an extention temp if necessary too. oddly enough I received a temp AZ plate from MD last week. I'd imagine plate should be inbound any day.

Not on a brand new car, only used vehicles older than 2 years. I just went through this with my wife’s new RSQ8 in Brazoria county.

You are correct for most counties in the state, but the ones I mentioned are exceptions. I just went through this with my Tungste. The rest of the state doesn’t have to do it. I guess those of us in the largest metro areas are just lucky 🤬😩😢

So weird as they told us we don’t need one when I took the car. I have the plates without any inspection on Brazoria.

Counties that require emissions testing
Brazoria, Collin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Ellis, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, and Johnson.
 
Emission test done. $18.50 Did anyone get a front license plate mount? I’ve requested one twice from MD and haven’t received one.
 
I need a front license plate for MN. I got mine from MD too, who do you request it to? Ordered one from Mopar but it won't fit the rho. License Plate Bracket Kit - Mopar Part#(68566317AA) will not fit the RHO as its describe in Mopar item detail description.

68566326AA Worked for me.
 
For either of the guys that need a front license plate bracket, PM me whoever does first I can ship you mine. AK is a one plate state so I have no need for it. Not sure what flat rate shipping is.

Wasn't the front bracket on your POC from Mark?

No it wasn’t. Maybe it depended on who put the order in. Either way problem solved. Ordered it from store.mopar.com for $20. Local dealer wanted $45. My plates came less than one week after getting emissions test done.
