We're in Tx and on the way to the RGV this winter, we got stopped by a trooper who usually works commercial trucks. He measured us and gave us a ticket for overlength, but we have TX plates and our state is 65'. We measured 73' with the extra trailer--he told us that TX is a reciprocal state and the legal limit is whatever your state is. We think we need Montana or Wyoming plates, just don't know how to get them! We have been everywhere pulling this combination and never been bothered, just got this guy this time who proudly told us he had given 6 other tickets that day for the same offense. Since we are fulltimers and it's our lifestyle, I don't think we'll be changing anything, but just may not travel as much since we do have a little farm in east TX.
