Thanks!
I've never seen a front plate on one of our DFW Cobras. As has been said, the law requires it, but is largely ignored. Inspection does not check how many plates, just that you have current insurance. Make sure your insurance card refers to your car as a 1965 or 1966 Ford Cobra Replica. If your title from out of state says something else, go with that, but get a comment on there about the 1965 Ford Cobra Replica. That is what gets you waived from having to pass emissions testing.

Technically, cars like ours are supposed to be inspected at a DPS Waiver Site (check Texas Department of Public Safety - Vehicle Inspection Offices Statewide). But many quick oil change places don't know this and inspect them anyway. You will need the inspection certificate when you apply for your TX title and registration. Good luck!
