Texas judge says 55 mph limit never legal in state
West Texas judge Ralph Caton told the West Texas Justice of the Peace Association that Texas has never had a 55 mph speed limit. He argued the Legislature did not pass it and only delegated authority to the Highway Commission, which he said cannot pass laws. He supported 70 mph as lawful when conditions justify it and suggested 65 mph for energy conservation.
