Getting to know Stephenville

Stephenville is the Erath County seat on the North Bosque River and home to Tarleton State University. The river and university are major points of reference within the town’s geography. Stephenville is included here as part of broader North Central Texas, rather than the core DFW metropolitan area.

Places to know

Tarleton State University. The university campus is a significant civic and geographic feature of Stephenville.

North Bosque River. The river passes through the city and warrants parcel-specific drainage review for nearby property.

Check at the address, not the town name

  • Compare routes from the exact address to campus, work, and services, and confirm whether the parcel is inside the city or in unincorporated Erath County.
  • 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.
