FAQ · 78358
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 78358?
AEP Texas Central is typically the TDU that delivers electricity and restores outages in 78358 (Fulton / Aransas Bay)—not CenterPoint Electric Delivery, Oncor, or TNMP. You pick a Retail Electric Provider (REP) for the energy plan. Outages: 866-223-8508; CS 877-373-4858. Rural edges may touch Nueces EC or San Patricio EC—verify ESI ID.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
Call AEP Texas at 866-223-8508, or use aeptexas.com outage tools. Your REP does not restore wires or poles. Downed line: stay away, call 911 and AEP Texas. If your bill shows Nueces EC, call 800-632-9288; SPEC members call 888-740-2220.
How do I start water service when I move into 78358?
Provider varies by street in Fulton / 78358 (small city, WSC, or unincorporated). Top-level phones are blank on purpose—check your lease, prior bill, city hall, or TCEQ drinking-water lookup. Do not assume Corpus Christi 311, Alice, Kingsville, Rockport, or Portland service outside those footprints.
Who handles trash pickup in 78358?
City contract vs private hauler is address-dependent. Confirm with city hall, HOA, or landlord. Multifamily properties often use private haulers.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
Piped gas is not confirmed for every 78358 address—many rural/coastal homes use propane. Where CenterPoint South Texas serves, start 800-427-7142; leak 888-876-5786. Suspected leak: leave immediately, then call 911 and your gas provider from a safe place.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
Delivery is regulated through AEP Texas Central as TDU. Energy supply is competitive—you choose among licensed REPs. Compare the Electricity Facts Label at your expected kWh usage. Co-op fringe (NEC/SPEC) and Robstown RUS generally cannot shop REPs.
Does Fulton use Houston or Dallas 311?
No—Coastal Bend communities do not use Houston 311 or Dallas 311. Corpus Christi has its own 311 (361-826-2489 outside city) for Corpus Christi city services—do not assume it covers Fulton / 78358. Use the local utility/city contacts in this packet. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 78358?
Common Coastal Bend options include AT&T Fiber, Spectrum, Frontier, and Sparklight where built; availability thins in rural Duval/Brooks/Jim Hogg/Bee parcels and on barrier islands. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service at every unit.
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.
