Colonias: Unincorporated Communities Outside Laredo

In Texas, a colonia is a neighborhood that may be missing basics: water, sewer, paved roads, or drainage. Webb County has that border story. NADBank lists one completed water and sewer project for 15 Webb County colonias. Webb County was the sponsor.

Before buying rural or edge-of-town land, pin down the status. Is it inside Laredo? Is it in a colonia? Or is it unincorporated land? That can affect services, subdivision rules, and resale value. Start with the Texas Attorney General definitions.
