Yes it does have me thinking, the main reason I even am using a front plate (though we are required in Texas) is because I drive through a part of Houston where they will give a ticket for anything. Though, not tested yet, I will see how hard it is to take off and on without having to get out the screwdriver and such. If I am able to just twist the main bolt which goes into the tow hook and get it on/off easily then I will do that.

You should be fine just spinning the thing off of the towhook socket, I would suspect, unless the license plate goes in deep enough that it would hit the bumper when trying to spin it all off as a unit.

I live in Texas too. I heard they might do away with that silly law but in the meantime, i yanked that license plate off the front. Only problem now is I have holes in my bumper because the dealer had butchered it.
My son bought a 1998 Mercedes-Benz E300 Turbodiesel and yanked the front license off and when he went to take his driving test the Trouper at DPS refused to let him take his test because he had no license plate on front. He had it in the front window. He will try again next month. A month's wait to go take again. nice..
