I was stopped in the speed trap in Chireno and it happened just like you have said. I had just crossed over from San Augustine County to Nacogdoches County and the speed limit went from 70 to 55 and I forgot about it and was chucking right along when I saw a hwy. patrol coming up behind me with his light flashing. I pulled over and he told me I was over the speed limit (there shouldn't even be a speed limit there), and I told him I was sorry and didn't realize that it had dropped that much. So he wrote me a ticket as I was going 67 in a 55 mile speed zone. I truly didn't realize although I live in San Augustine. It cost me $165.00 U a good lesson that there are definitely many speed traps. Since then I have spoken to so many people that live in San Augustine and going to Nacogdoches, they have gotten tickets there..He is always waiting and I think that should be stopped and the speed limit should not decrease but just stay the same. No reason for it to be there except for it being a perfect place to put a speed trap. Everyone should knoe this is not right to have these around just so they can write tickets.

The officer has been given an award for most tickets wrote in Texas.
