The front mounting bracket mounts in four places. Two screws that are up in the grill area, out of sight. And two in front at the top, that screw into the bumper. The bumper does not have pre-drilled holes for the mounting bracket.
It's obvious that the dealer in Texas, or someone else, installed the bracket which was then removed. You might have a problem getting reimbersment for a replacement or repair because even though the holes are not present from the factory, the bracket and its mounting method is standard equipment.
I bought mine in PA, where there is no front plate, and had to ask the dealer to install it because I live in NY where a front plate is required. The holes in the bumper is one thing the salesman brought up. "We can do that, but..."
You could always leave the bracket on and put in a vanity plate of your choice.
