Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 77950?
AEP Texas Central (AEPTC) is the utility that delivers electricity and restores outages in 77950 (Austwell). You choose a Retail Electric Provider (REP) for your plan and bill. The rate table at the top of this page shows today's lowest 77950 plans at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, and you can switch through WattKarma (PUCT broker #BR220202) at no cost.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
Call AEP Texas at 866-223-8508, or use aeptexas.com outage tools. Your REP does not restore wires or poles. Downed line: stay away, call 911 and AEP Texas. If your bill shows a co-op, use that co-op’s outage number instead.
How do I start water service when I move into 77950?
Provider varies by street in Austwell / 77950 (small city, WSC, or unincorporated). Do not assume Corpus Christi 311, Victoria 361-485-3400, or Port Lavaca service outside those footprints.
Who handles trash pickup in 77950?
City contract vs private hauler is address-dependent. Confirm with city hall, HOA, or landlord. Multifamily properties often use private haulers.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
Piped gas is not confirmed for every 77950 address—many rural/coastal homes use propane. Where CenterPoint South Texas serves, start 800-427-7142; leak 888-876-5786. Suspected leak: leave immediately, then call 911 and your gas provider from a safe place.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
Delivery is regulated through AEP Texas Central as TDU. Energy supply is competitive—you choose among licensed REPs. Compare the Electricity Facts Label at your expected kWh usage. Co-op and municipal customers (e.g. Robstown RUS) generally cannot shop REPs.
Does Austwell use Houston, Dallas, or Corpus Christi 311?
No—Victoria / Port Lavaca / Crossroads communities do not use Houston 311, Dallas 311, or Corpus Christi 311 for local utilities. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 77950?
Common Coastal Bend / Crossroads options include AT&T Fiber, Spectrum, Frontier, Sparklight, and Suddenlink/Optimum where built; availability thins in rural Goliad/DeWitt/Calhoun parcels and on barrier islands. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address.
What should I do before digging in the yard?
Call 811 (Texas 811) before any digging or landscaping that disturbs soil so underground electric, gas, water, and telecom lines can be marked. Hitting a line can be dangerous and costly.
