Naples, Texas
Naples is a small city in Morris County, in the East Texas Piney Woods roughly 49 miles north of Longview. It lies in the forested, rolling country of the northeastern part of the state, an area historically shaped by timber and agriculture. The surrounding landscape is one of pine and hardwood woodland dotted with small farms and rural communities.
Property here runs through the Morris 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 Morris County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
