Spring typically is when large numbers of winged termites, known as "swarmers" emerge. In nature, termites swarm to start new colonies. Winged termites emerge from the colony and fly. The swarmers then drop to the ground, shed their wings, pair off with a mate, and attempt to begin new colonies in the soil. Usually, swarming indicates that an infestation is present.

Matagorda County is asking that all properties be marked with your 911 address based on your property location. To obtain your 911 address, call Rebecca at 979.244.6801, and she will advise you of the correct address. 

 

Your address should be visible during the day and night. Please remove any old address, usually showing your lot number, to avoid any confusion. By using only the 911 address system, emergency vehicles stand a better chance of finding your property, should the occasion arise. 

We're closer to getting our own zip code. The USPS has officially acknowledged our request, and the proposed boundaries are being mapped. A complete list from various sources of every delivery address will be included in the new zip code.
