I am aware an officer can ticket me outside of his jurisdiction.

Oops, sorry. We have an area like that here and everyone says hey, I can speed here and the local police can't give me a ticket... Of course they sometimes learn the hard way.

A peace officer can enforce the traffic code in the entire county in which their city lies. If the city falls within more than one county they can enforce the law in all counties.

If he was standing in Rowlett and he saw you enter Rowlett he can write you a ticket.

I recommend Defensive Driviing....
