Winfield, Texas
Winfield is a small city in Titus County, in the wooded, gently rolling country of northeast Texas roughly 51 miles northwest of Longview. It sits within the Piney Woods, a landscape of pine and hardwood forest, farm plots, and creek bottoms. The community developed as a rural railroad-era settlement along the routes that cross this part of East Texas.
Property here runs through the Titus 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 Titus County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
