About Carrizo Springs
What you're shopping for power in.
Carrizo Springs is the Dimmit County seat — a small South Texas city in the Eagle Ford Shale oilfield, with the economy tied tightly to oil-and-gas activity. Significant boom-and-bust cycles in housing and rent as rig counts move.
Climate & bill pattern
Hot dry South Texas climate, mild dry winters, occasional hard freezes.
Mostly 1,200-1,600 sq ft single-story homes; oilfield-boom housing tightness comes and goes with the rig count.
