Tehuacana, Texas
Tehuacana is a small town in Limestone County, perched on a range of low wooded hills about 38 miles northeast of Waco. It is known as the longtime home of Westminster College, a historic institution whose stone buildings sit on the hilltop above the town. The surrounding country is a patchwork of oak-covered hills, pasture, and creek bottoms in the transition zone of central Texas.
Property here runs through the Limestone 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 Limestone County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
