I dont wanna! My bumper has no holes! I hate to put some in there at this point. Does anyone at least have a professional looking bracket?

You could try 3M Scotch Dual Lock Reclosable Fastners - 1 inch x 3 inches. I use them on my dash and they are rock solid after almost 5 years of Humid Subtropical heat. I had the same 'model' on another car for 5 years prior to getting my Yaris. I've nver tried using them on the outside of a vehicle, but they've never left any residue when taking them off re no longer using the equipment they were holding....so I'd probably test one in an inconspicuous place on the exterior. Last time I checked, radio Shack still carried them and IIRC they were $3.99 USD for 4 of the 1x3 strips. They come in at least Black and also clear. I've always used the clear ones.

This would be your only solid option then:

Using the 3M tape is a novel idea, but in the high heat that you will most likely encounter there in TX I am not really thinking that it will stay for long especially with the turbulence of driving and exposure to moisture. I tried that route myself with my Army Veteran plate. Was not successful. It fell off, but at least it did it in my driveway. It is what it is.
