About Houston County

Houston County in the Piney Woods of East Texas has deep sandy soils with clay subsoils that generally provide good drainage for conventional septic systems, though iron-rich hardpan layers can create perched water tables in some locations. The Carrizo-Wilcox and Queen City aquifers provide well water, and the county's heavily forested terrain and low population density give properties ample space for septic and well installations.
