Poth, Texas
Set in the gently rolling farmland of Wilson County, Poth lies about 34 miles southeast of San Antonio in the South Central Texas countryside. The town sits amid a mix of cropland and pasture that has long supported farming and ranching in the area. It remains a small rural community serving the surrounding agricultural district.
Property here runs through the Wilson 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 Wilson County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
