About La Marque

What you're shopping for power in.

La Marque is a Galveston County city along I-45 north of Texas City — a refining-corridor community squeezed between heavy industry and the bay. The city is part of the Texas City-La Marque metropolitan complex.

Climate & bill pattern

Coastal Gulf Coast climate with the same hurricane and tropical-storm exposure as Galveston Bay neighbors.

Mix of older 1,200-1,500 sq ft homes and newer 1,800-2,200 sq ft builds. Refining-corridor air-quality concerns drive some residents to higher AC use (windows-closed lifestyle).
