Check at the address, not the town name

• Direct cemetery questions to the cemetery association; the city says it does not administer burials or deeds.
• Verify city limits and the relevant water provider for a specific Highway 114-area address.
• School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: TEA school district locator, FEMA flood maps, county appraisal districts.
