Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 78827?

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 78827 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 your bill: AEP Texas Central 866-223-8508 or Rio Grande EC 800-749-1509. Your REP (if any) does not restore wires. Downed line: 911 + provider.
How does trash and recycling work in Asherton?
Trash is address-dependent (city contract vs private hauler). Confirm with city hall, HOA, or landlord. Multifamily often private.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
Piped gas is not confirmed for every address here—propane is common. Uvalde and Del Rio have municipal gas inside those cities only. Suspected leak: leave, then 911.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
AEP Texas Central-wired homes can shop REPs. Rio Grande EC members generally cannot.
Does Asherton use Dallas 311 or Houston 311?
No. Only parcels inside City of Dallas or City of Houston limits use those 311 systems. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 78827?
Use each provider’s checker with your full street address.
How do I tell AEP from the co-op?
AEP bills list AEP as TDU with a separate REP. Co-op bills (Rio Grande EC) have no separate REP. Outage phones: AEP 866-223-8508 vs co-op 800-749-1509.
