Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?

Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
Oncor parcels: competitive REP shopping (delivery via Oncor). United Cooperative Services members generally cannot shop REPs.
Does Hico use Dallas 311 or Fort Worth 311?
Stephenville, Bridgeport, Graham, Jacksboro, and most 764xx towns use their own utility billing lines—not Dallas 311 or Fort Worth 311. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 76457?
Common options include AT&T, Spectrum, Frontier, and United Cooperative Services fiber where built out; availability varies widely across Stephenville, lake communities, and rural Erath/Palo Pinto/Young/Jack towns. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address.
How do I tell Oncor from UCS, Tri-County, Wise, J-A-C, Fort Belknap, or Bridgeport municipal?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. Oncor delivery bills show Oncor with a separate REP. Co-op and Bridgeport municipal bills come from those providers without REP shopping.
