FAQ · 78361

Common questions

Who is my electric utility in ZIP 78361?

AEP Texas Central (AEPTC) is the utility that delivers electricity and restores outages in 78361 (Hebbronville). You choose a Retail Electric Provider (REP) for your plan and bill.

Who do I call when the power goes out?

How do I start water service when I move into 78361?

Provider varies by street in Hebbronville / 78361 (small city, WSC, or unincorporated). Do not assume Corpus Christi 311, Alice, Kingsville, Rockport, or Portland service outside those footprints.

Who handles trash pickup in 78361?

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?

CenterPoint Energy (Entex) South Texas is the typical LDC for many Hebbronville addresses. Start/transfer: 800-427-7142. Suspected leak: leave immediately, then call 911 and CenterPoint 888-876-5786 from a safe place. Natural gas is not retail-choice like electricity.

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.

Does Hebbronville use Houston or Dallas 311?

No—Coastal Bend communities do not use Houston 311 or Dallas 311. Corpus Christi has its own 311 (361-826-2489 outside city) for Corpus Christi city services—do not assume it covers Hebbronville / 78361. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.

Which internet providers serve 78361?

Common Coastal Bend options include AT&T Fiber, Spectrum, Frontier, and Sparklight where built; availability thins in rural Duval/Brooks/Jim Hogg/Bee 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.
