It depends on the laws of the state where the law enforcement officer is sworn to serve, and of his jurisdiction. Usually, all peace officers are sworn to uphold the law, and they are peace officers 24/7. Just because they are not on duty, does not mean that they are free to ignore violations of the law, especially if the violation is serious, either as to public safety, or for violations of other more severe illegal activities. Based on this, I suspect that an off-duty Sheriff, or Deputy, can at his/her descretion, issue a ticket for speeding or anything else he/she deems important and necessary.

I am 16 and got a speeding ticket and i dint have a license in tx what can I do?

You were stopped for speeding and had no drivers license. Most likely the state will issue you a drivers license number to hold the ticket and after a few more years it will go on your license when you get one. Most likely you will not be eligible for a few more years.
