About Alice
What you're shopping for power in.
Alice is the Jim Wells County seat — a South Texas city of about 18,000 between Corpus Christi and Laredo on US-281. Historically an oil-and-cattle hub, now a regional retail and healthcare center for the surrounding ranch country.
Climate & bill pattern
Hot dry summers with high UV (drier than RGV but hotter peaks); mild dry winters.
Mix of older 1,400-1,700 sq ft homes and newer suburban builds. The dry heat means slightly lower humidity load than the coast but longer triple-digit days.
