Getting to know Emhouse

Emhouse is a Navarro County town whose origins followed the Trinity and Brazos Valley Railway. The settlement was initially named Lyford, then renamed because another Texas town already used that name. Its railroad history helps explain the town’s formation rather than implying any present passenger service.

Check at the address, not the town name

  • Check the town boundary and road access for the specific parcel; older railway-era plats can require careful comparison with current property records.
  • 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.
