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

Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
AEP Texas Central: competitive REPs. Jackson EC members: generally non-competitive.
Which internet providers serve 77457?
Common options marketed in the Greater Houston / Fort Bend belt include AT&T Fiber, Xfinity, and Spectrum, but availability is address-specific. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address.
What should I do before digging or landscaping?
Call 811 (Texas 811) several business days before digging so underground utilities can be marked. Hitting a gas or electric line can be deadly and costly.
Why might my 77457 neighbor have different water or electric providers?
Fort Bend / Harris / Waller / Matagorda ZIPs often mix cities, MUDs, and (in Matagorda/Wharton) co-ops. Utility boundaries follow meters and districts—not ZIP labels. Always match your bill and appraisal district record.
