I know that Texas isn't California, but California has (or had) some similar type of statute which set a default maxium speed limit anywhere in the state.
However, I believe the Tollway Authority can set the speed on their roadways as long as the follow the guidelines established for other highways
So, I would say since the rest of the tollway is 70, that would be the prima facie speed for the unposted secitons(J) The authority of regional tollway authorities, regional mobility authorities, and the Commanding Officer of a United States Military Reservation to alter the speed limits are addressed in Transportation Code, §§370.033, 545.354, and 545.358. These decision making authorities are required to follow the speed zone procedures adopted by the department when altering, on the basis of an engineering and traffic study, speed limits on off-system turnpikes or on-system highways within the confines of a military reservation.
