Reflective tape on ICC bumper rule ?

I got a warning for that once too. If it get ripped or gets blasted off by pressure washer it's best to keep it nice looking.

 

Just buy some, it's less than $2/foot

 

Texas is known for some of the stupidest crap most other states wont even bother you for. I got a ticket for no reflective on the back of cab and improper mudflaps. They were flapping in the wind. I didnt see one texas plated truck that had something to keep their own mudflaps from flapping in the wind.
