Getting to know Elmo

Elmo is an unincorporated community on US 80 east of Terrell in Kaufman County. It developed beside the Texas and Pacific Railway in the 1870s and served as a shipping point for farm products. Its highway location is a clearer geographic reference than assuming that every Elmo mailing address has identical county services.

Check at the address, not the town name

  • Confirm the parcel’s county jurisdiction and water-service provider.
  • For land near US 80, verify recorded access and easements rather than assuming road frontage guarantees a usable driveway.
  • 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.
