Point Blank, Texas
Point Blank is a small city in San Jacinto County, in the pine forests of the Big Thicket region of East Texas, about 43 miles northeast of The Woodlands. It stands near the shore of Lake Livingston, a large Trinity River reservoir whose coves and bays draw anglers and weekend visitors to the area. The town's unusual name is part of local lore, and the surrounding country is heavily wooded and lightly settled.
Property here runs through the San Jacinto 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 San Jacinto County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
