| im not sure about texas but in florida you only need a flag if it sticks out further than 4 feet from the rear of your vehicle. the only problem you might have is blocking your tag. |

same with those bike racks that come out the hitch too...
I've never had a prob with the 5-0 with my winch on my hitch. Then again, I've met just about every cop in one nearby county for winchin.

rig up some brake lights for it that plug into your trailer light receptacle... and put a red flag on it... you'll have done everything to prevent an accident and shouldn't have any liability issues.... and if you're still concerned relocate your plate
