About 100 yards from leaving my driveway there is a slight rise in the road and just as I reached the top I could see the top of the Comal County Sheriff's car off to the side off the road. Looking down at the dash I saw my speed was between 35 and 40 (35 MPH speed zone) so I backed off a little to pass the Deputy a kept on going. As I looked in the rearview I saw the lights come on and the Deputy pull out. Thinking the Deputy had received a call I pulled over to let him pass and, to my surprise he pulled up behind me. Windows down, DL, CHL, and Insurance in hand with both hands on the wheel. Presented my documents and the Deputy asked if I knew what the speed limit was to which I responded 35 MPH. The Deputy responded that the limit was 30 MPH and he showed me doing 38 as I came up over the rise. Never once questioned if I was armed or where my sidearm was.

Long story short:

Got a warning (Good). Deputy said he would take my word on the 35 MPH speed limit. Warning lists reason for stop was speeding but the field for posted limit and clocked speed were left blank.

Posted speed 35 MPH. Speed limit sign fifty feet behind us. He had to drive by it when he pulled me over.

Told by the Deputy that all roads in Texas posted at or over 35 are required to have a center strip painted and this road is not marked(?) I'm not on the TXDOT team so this comment baffled me as if I was supposed to know this.

Technically yes, I was speeding. 3 MPH over posted speed. But the Deputy not knowing the posted speed? I think maybe the Deputy was doing a little noon time fishing.
