FAQ · 76126
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 76126?
Oncor Electric Delivery is the TDU that delivers electricity and restores outages in Benbrook / 76126. Because this area is in Texas retail choice (ERCOT), you pick a Retail Electric Provider (REP) for the energy plan and bill. Compare offers at PowerToChoose.org or WattKarma’s ZIP page, then enroll with the REP. Rural edges may touch co-ops—verify ESI ID if your bill is not Oncor.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
Call Oncor at 888-313-4747 (24/7), text OUT to 66267 if enrolled in MyOncor Alerts, or use Oncor’s online outage tools. Your REP does not restore wires or poles. For a downed power line, stay far away and call 911 and Oncor.
How do I start water service when I move into 76126?

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.
