Cresson sits where the Hood, Johnson and Parker county areas meet, around US 377 and State Highway 171 southwest of Fort Worth. That junction has long shaped the community’s geography. TxDOT’s US 377 relief-route information is useful for distinguishing the through-highway corridor from local streets and the older junction.

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

- Identify the parcel’s county as well as its city-limit status before retrieving public records.
- Review the current US 377 alignment and local access when researching a highway-area address.
- 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).
