Woodsboro, Texas   Refugio, Texas

Woodsboro is located five miles south of Refugio, Texas on Hwy 77 South. Whereas the speed limit is raised to 70 mph as soon as you leave Refugio, just 5 miles down the road, drivers are forced to drastically reduce their speed to 55 miles per hour, for a mere distance of less than a mile (Woodsboro area). The town of Woodsboro is nestled far from Hwy 77 and therefore it is obvious that their citizens are not in any danger of fast-travelling traffic; there is no logical reason to force drivers to slow down to 55 mph. This situation does not occur again for 150 miles, where there is a stretch of highway, without notable population or businesses, but drivers are forced to slow down anyway. Also, there are only about 4-5 legitimate businesses on this small stretch of highway; one could understand the need for a reduction in speed if there were enough businesses/people along the highway to merit a change in speed allowance. There is no logical reason for the citizens of Woodsboro, Texas to be allowed to conduct such obvious traffic gouging activity; this tiny town is a speed trap.

The police hide out everywhere. I have never been through the town once, without having my Radar Detector go off. Police go as far as painting a white line where the 20MPH for school starts and stops. I would advise all that go through here to never stop at any business and give this town any money. Hopefully, my state senator will introdue a Bill to bypass this town on 77.

Whole town   Refugio, Texas

I live here and am disgusted by who gets tickets and who doesn't!!! Trucks come through here and run red lights, speed, use engine brakes (signs tell them that it's illegal to do so BTW), change lanes, etc. but get by with it. A senior citizen on winter break comes through and it's quick pickings. The school zone lights are on the sides of the road and can easily be blocked by trucks or vans that you are traveling alongside so that they are totally missed. I have mentioned that the school zone signs need to be the type like they use at the fire department (hanging out over the center of the lanes both ways like a stop light) only to be told in no uncertain terms that our lights are legal. Wish the city was as interested in the welfare of students in the school zones as they are in adding to the city coffers. Most people when they find out that you live in Refugio they say " Oh yeah, I got a ticket(s) there when I came through. Not the type reputation I'd like to see our town have. BTW, after you leave the last stop light on the North end of town, you don't have to stop until you reach the Atlantic Ocean if it's any consequence to anyone.

The whole town   Refugio, Texas

Refugio is a small town just north east of Corpus Christi. The town is slowly dying the only real money it gets for its police force is through it speeding tickets. They will write a ticket for as little as five miles over the speed limit, but they also do have a love for adding miles to your speed to push it to at least 11. I mean who is going to argue with a police officer? Just 1 - 10 miles over the limit is $161 bucks if they can get you at 11 to 15 it is $181 bucks plus court cost. Just go five miles below the limit and you should be fine. They know people have not much of a choice but to drive through there and they love the out of towners because no one wants to go there if they had a choice. It is a small town where all the locals know each other. You will not get a fair trail when you go to court. They just want the money and you to just pay and get out. If you look at all their fines the cheapest one is $141. so you can tell it is all about money.

E Empresario St & S Alamo St   Refugio, Texas

As you enter the city from the south on Hwy 77, there is a hidden cruiser. The speed limit changes from 70 to 35 and we thought it was 45. We did not go back to double check the speed limit signs, but you need to be warned....some of these tiny Texas towns are so poor that their only way of earning revenue is thru speed traps. Be careful..we were doing 43 in what he said was a 35 zone and that is $10 a mile PLUS about $95 in a state tax that I had never heard of before and my husband used to be a city magistrate.
