Eustace, Texas Speed Traps

Eustace is the epitomy of a speedtrap and a glaring embarrassment to legitimit law enforcement. If you are traveling southeast towards Athens the speedlimit drops from 65 MPH to 55 MPH about a mile before you enter the city. Then it drops 50, 45, 40 within about 1/2 a mile. Just in case you make it that far. This “city”” of slightly over 800 people has two two full time officers on duty 24/7. One is usually posted on each end of the 3.5 miles of Hwy 175 that passes through the town. Forget about warnings. That word is not in their vocabulary. I know of many instances where citations have been written for 2 or 3 miles and hour over the limit. “
