Carter is an unincorporated census-designated community in northern Parker County. State Highway 51 runs along its eastern side, connecting the area with Springtown and Weatherford. The landscape includes ridges and drainage valleys that feed the Clear Fork of the Trinity River and Walnut Creek.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Check a parcel’s drainage and flood information, especially near the valleys and creeks.
- Confirm the responsible county offices and utility providers for the address; Carter’s census label is not a city government.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
