Oncor: competitive REPs. Hamilton County EC and Pedernales EC members generally cannot shop REPs.

Does Hamilton use Austin 311 or Dallas 311?

Temple, Killeen, Belton, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, Gatesville, Taylor, and most 765xx towns use their own utility billing lines—not Austin 311 or Dallas 311. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.

Which internet providers serve 76531?

Common options include AT&T, Spectrum, and Frontier; availability varies across Temple–Killeen metro, Fort Cavazos housing, and rural Bell/Coryell/Williamson/Milam towns. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service at every unit.

How do I tell Oncor from Bartlett EC, HOTEC, Hamilton County EC, PEC, or Georgetown Electric?

Look at your electric bill logo/payee and ESI ID. Oncor delivery bills show Oncor with a separate REP. Co-op and Georgetown municipal bills come from those providers without REP shopping. Outage numbers differ—see this packet’s electric section.
