No. US 77 is the stretch of road that goes down to Brownsville and beyond.
That's the road to Port A, Rockport and Padre Island.
This wasn't even near the border.

I've never been stopped going south.
Somewhere south of Victoria but I couldn't tell ya where because it's not very populated.

But all the times before that I also was just asked if I was a citizen and then flagged on.
