FAQ · 77990

Common questions

Who is my electric utility in ZIP 77990?

AEP Texas Central (AEPTC) OR Victoria Electric Cooperative is the utility that delivers electricity and restores outages in 77990 (Telferner). 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 77990 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?

Match the provider on your bill: AEP Texas 866-223-8508 or VEC 361-582-5555. Your REP (if any) does not restore poles/wires. Downed line: 911 + electric provider.

How do I start water service when I move into 77990?

Provider varies by street in Telferner / 77990 (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 77990?

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 77990 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?

AEP Texas Central parcels: delivery regulated via the TDU; energy supply is competitive via REPs. Victoria EC members generally cannot shop REPs.

Does Telferner 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 77990?

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.

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.
