It's legal in Texas as long as the plate stays visible on the road. You are required to have license plates at the front and rear most point of the vehicle.

Hook it up to a relay that is triggered by ignition so it's up when your car is on but hidden when it's not.
But also have a switch that can turn that ignition power off, while the car's still on, just because.

It's only illegal if you get caught!

Put one of these on an Ariel Atom and they'd probably give you life in a Texas prison and throw away the key.
