That would be ZERO benefit. And you might get a ticket or get sued in an accident.

Are you addressing removing both of them, or just one? As according to Texas law, all that is required is a "device" that clears moisture from the windshield...

Quote:
§ 547.603. WINDSHIELD WIPERS REQUIRED. A motor vehicle shall be equipped with a device that is operated or controlled by the operator of the vehicle and that cleans moisture from the windshield. The device shall be maintained in good working condition.

Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.
As long as one blade still remains and clears the windshield for the driver, there's no way you can be legally cited for it.

Plus, there are so many other obvious infractions of our vehicle code that a missing passenger wiper arm is not likely to catch an officer's attention even in an accident.

Believe it or not, it is legal to drive without a windshield in this state; as long as you have eye protection. I have dropped the windshield on my Jeep before, it's OK for toodling around the neighborhood or on a ranch but there's no way I'd drive on major roads like that!

Cheers! M2
