Texas strictly enforces it speed laws.
That depends on where you are driving. In many places in Texas (Austin), you are a traffic hazard if you are driving at or below speed limit. In west Texas on IH-10 the speed limit is 80 mph, and I see plenty of people exceeding that. Common rule of thumb on open highways in Texas is that you are OK as long as you are 5 mph or less over the speed limit. There are speed traps in some locations, but not like there were in the ridiculous 55 mph days.
I should add that when towing I stay under 65 mph due to trailer tire speed limits. That makes the stretch of highway from Kerrville to El Paso interesting sometimes when others are going 80-85 mph.
