Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
AEP Texas Central parcels: competitive REP choice. Jackson EC members generally cannot shop REPs.
Does Ganado 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 77962?

How do I tell competitive AEP wires from a co-op?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. AEP Texas delivery bills show the TDU with a separate REP. Victoria EC, Jackson EC, and Karnes EC bills are from the cooperative (no REP shopping). Match outage numbers to your bill.
