Does faltar take an indirect object always?
¡No faltes al respeto a tu profesor!Don't insult your teacher!Why is this not taking "le" before the verb since it is "faltar a alguien"?

Hola Allison
WIth this meaning (faltar al respeto a alguien) you can also add the indirect object pronoun to emphasise:
¡No le faltes al respeto a tu profesor!
It's not necessary but you can choose to omit it or not.
It'd be similar to this other sentence where you can do the same:
Quiero dedicar esta canción a Laura.
Le quiero dedicar esta canción a Laura.
I want to dedicate this song to Laura.
Saludos
