Avery, Texas
Avery is a small town in Red River County in far northeastern Texas, about 73 miles north of Longview. The country here lies in the timbered northeastern reaches of the state, a landscape of pine and hardwood forest, pasture, and cropland near the Red River. Farming and ranching have long shaped the local economy.
Property here runs through the Red River Central Appraisal District and the county tax office — the homestead exemption, the appraisal cap, protests, and any MUD, PID, or special districts all sit at the parcel level. The Red River County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
