This was on a 4-5 lane highway in Houston, TX.

There was moderate traffic and cars beside/in front/behind me

Speed limit is 65 and I was going 65 on the dot.

Eventually I saw the cop on the side of the road and immediately looked at my speedometer and of course it showed 65 so I wasn't worried.

Seconds later, he pulls up behind me and turns on lights.

Not sure if this bit of info helps or not but I was driving a burgundy 1998 Toyota Corolla

He walks up and tells me I was going 75 in a 65

I explain my side of the story, bam bam bam, ticket written, and its over.

I was in Houston on vacation and am from Baton Rouge, LA

What options do I have?

Thanks in advance!

Goodluck with your ticket, I hate when police ticket you when your out of town just cuz they know it will more than likely just get paid for the inconvenience. Iv been in a similar instance where a cop made up a LEGIT bullshit story and handed me a careless driving ticket.
