FAQ · 78832

Common questions

Who is my electric utility in ZIP 78832?

Rio Grande Electric Cooperative typically serves Brackettville / 78832. Members generally cannot shop REPs on Power to Choose. Rare AEP competitive fringe—match your bill/ESI ID.

Who do I call when the power goes out?

Call Rio Grande Electric Cooperative at 800-749-1509 (24/7 routing). Co-ops restore their own wires—not a REP. Downed line: 911 + co-op.

How do I start water service when I move into 78832?

Contact Address-verify — city / WSC / county water (mixed or unconfirmed) at the provider on your bill (top-level phone blank in this packet) or use the city’s published start/portal links. No single verified city water phone for every parcel in this ZIP. Check lease, prior bill, city hall, rural WSC, or TCEQ. Do not assume Uvalde / Del Rio / Eagle Pass / Carrizo Springs / Crystal City / Sabinal / Childress

How does trash and recycling work in Brackettville?

Trash is address-dependent (city contract vs private hauler). Confirm with city hall, HOA, or landlord. Multifamily often private.

Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?

Piped gas is not confirmed for every address here—propane is common. Uvalde and Del Rio have municipal gas inside those cities only. Suspected leak: leave, then 911 (do not invent an LDC).

Is electricity regulated or competitive here?

This ZIP is typically non-competitive co-op territory (Rio Grande Electric Cooperative). You generally cannot shop REPs unless your meter is on AEP wires—verify the bill.

Does Brackettville use Dallas 311 or Houston 311?

No. Only parcels inside City of Dallas or City of Houston limits use those 311 systems. Brackettville and other 788xx/792xx communities use their own utility/city contacts in this packet. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.

Which internet providers serve 78832?

Common options may include AT&T, Spectrum, Optimum/Suddenlink, Frontier, and local WISP/co-op broadband; availability thins in rural Uvalde/Del Rio/Maverick and Panhandle-fringe counties. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service.

How do I tell a co-op from AEP?

Co-op bills name Rio Grande Electric Cooperative with no separate REP. AEP bills name AEP Texas as TDU plus a REP. Outage phones differ: co-op 800-749-1509 vs AEP 866-223-8508.
