How do I tell Oncor from DME, CoServ, or another co-op?

Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. Oncor delivery bills show Oncor as TDU with a separate REP. DME bills are City of Denton; CoServ and Wise/Tri-County bills are from those providers. Outage numbers differ—see this packet’s electric section.
