Check at the address, not the town name

  • Check park conditions before planning a river visit; water level can affect track visibility and access, and a nearby park does not establish public access through a private parcel.
  • 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.
