If it ain't got pine trees it ain't east TX. This is not negotiable. You need a new textbook.

I hate the regional names Texas gives itself mostly.
Dallas isn't north Texas. The panhandle or Wichita Falls is. Waco, Temple, and Killeen aren't Central Texas, San Angelo, Brownwood and Abilene are. Midland&Odessa arent West Texas. You can drive 7 hours west and still be in Tx. Stupid state.

Damn you have terrible luck. I grew up in and around Picayune and throughout my entire life I think I've seen two people pulled over in Pearl River County

Ftr, I didn't say he was from Mexia. I said East Texas. I was pulled over IN Mexia.

Change 35 to 45 and I'd agree.

Grew up in rural SW GA. Trooper stopped me at night beside a pecan orchard with absolutely no traffic on the road. The Trooper knew my dad real well. They had just been issued 45s. He cocked his hat back on his head and handed his 45 to me and told me to try it out. Kinda freaked me out. I kept pointing it in the ditch but never shot it because I was apprehensive. He kept saying "try it, try it" and I just kept pointing it. I wasn't 100 percent sure then that he meant shoot it,'but I'm positive now that he was meaning to shoot it. Anyway, that's not your every day roadside encounter with a Trooper. That was circa 1990.
The cops in my hometown in the 80s we're generally cool. Call your parents at worst; never take you to jail.

I've been let off easy so many times just for being polite and genuine with cops.
For all the bad stuff that gets publicized, you rarely hear about the everyday good stuff those folks do every day.

True story, when I was ten my dog disappeared for a few days. Our LPO brought him back without shooting him. This was in the 80's though.

i ran out of gas about 150-200 yards shy of the gas station once. my passenger was a much larger mammal than i, but it was my car so i pushed. a pig in his mid 50's pulled up and helped me push the rest of the way. i wasn't making it up that incline on my own. i bought the guy a gatorade and offered him a food item of his choosing, but he declined that.

A pig? Really, the dude helps you out and you still call him names.

i insulted his profession not him. his action doesn't come close to making up for the bad cops experiences btw, but this wasn't about that.

So how did you know he was from east TX?

That's backwards thinking.

In high school me and some friends were sharing a 18-pack of Coors we stole from the store, drinking it in the car on the way to a concert. Right before we get to the show we get pulled over (ftr, I'm not driving) and the cop figures out what we're doing. We tell him were going to a concert. We're all underage and buzzed as shite and scared as frick but the cop says "I could really ruin all your lives right now but I really don't think I will over this"
Made us pour out the last 3-4 beers on the road and took my friends keys. My friend said he got them back the next day in an envelope in his mailbox. Turned out also the cop lived down the street from the kids family.
Edit: we never did see the concert, waited like 2 hours fora ride back lol

I had a cop not write me a ticket because he appreciated how polite I was. I thought that was pretty cool of him.

Got pulled over around 2am couple months ago, taillight was out and had been drinking. Wasn't hammered but shouldn't have been driving. Cop asks if I had been drinking, tell him no. Asks to breathalyze me I say I don't consent then asks if I consent to a field sobriety. Say yes and I guess I passed it to his standard. Says he doesn't appreciate me lying to him that I hadn't drank that he can tell I'm impaired but that he felt I wasn't a harm to others on the road. Told me to go to the Waffle House across the street and order a waffle and some toast and water. Gave me 6$ and said its on me have a good night.

You lucky SOB. Cops in Texas have no remorse towards driving while intoxicated.
