When I drove between Houston & Galveston last fall

that almost everyone stayed close to the speed limits.
Is that the norm in Texas ? I would have assumed
that with all those distances people would try to
cover them as fast as they could get away with.

....trust me, in my years long association with the traveling public in
Texas, they drive just as fast as anybody else, probably because of the
great distances involved and the fact that in the US as more drivers hit
the road it seems the faster they go, sort of a semi-controlled rat race.
....try this experiment..go faster than you normally do, I mean really fast
and before long some sumbitch will pass you. There are people out there
that just have to be first. This applies to any state.
