FAQ · 77381
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 77381?
It depends on your street: CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric (competitive; outage 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143) or Entergy Texas (regulated; outage 800-968-8243). Use The Woodlands Township address lookup or your bill/ESI ID before shopping REPs.
Who do I call when the power goes out in 77381?
CenterPoint 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143 or Entergy 800-968-8243—match the utility on your bill. Downed line: 911 + electric provider.
How do I compare electricity plans for 77381?
First confirm CenterPoint vs Entergy vs MidSouth on your bill. Only CenterPoint (competitive) parcels should compare REPs on Power to Choose or WattKarma (https://wattkarma.com/zip/77381). Entergy/MidSouth customers generally cannot shop REPs.
How do I start water service in 77381?
Woodlands Water Agency 281-367-1271 or 855-426-7283 for Montgomery Woodlands MUDs; after-hours emergency 281-537-4376. Trash is NOT Woodlands Water—use Township 311/HOA.
How does trash / recycling work in 77381?
Follow your water jurisdiction: city-bundled trash, MUD/HOA contract, Township, or private hauler. Conroe uses Frontier via Utility Billing; Tomball/Humble/Magnolia/Willis/Montgomery/ORN bill trash with city utilities when city-served; Woodlands Water does not handle trash. See trash.notes for 77381.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
CenterPoint Energy typically distributes natural gas for metro addresses near The Woodlands. Start: 713-659-2111 or 800-752-8036. Leak: leave, then 911 and 713-659-2111 or 888-876-5786.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
CenterPoint parcels are competitive (choose a REP). Entergy parcels are regulated (no REP shopping). The same ZIP can contain both—address-verify.
Which internet providers serve 77381?
Common options marketed in the North Houston / The Woodlands / Conroe belt include AT&T Fiber, Xfinity, and Spectrum, but availability is address-specific. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service.
What should I do before digging or landscaping?
Call 811 (Texas 811) several business days before digging so underground utilities can be marked. Hitting a gas or electric line can be deadly and costly.
Why might my 77381 neighbor have different water or electric providers?
Harris / Montgomery ZIPs often mix cities, MUDs/WCIDs, CenterPoint vs Entergy Texas vs MidSouth Electric Cooperative. Utility boundaries follow meters and districts—not ZIP labels. Always match your bill and appraisal district record.
