Start with your address

Enter a Texas street address — you will land on your block view (identity chips, this week, representatives, meetings) with honest coverage notes, then you can open county, city, or ISD profiles.

Texas-only resolver. County routing is the reliable first-class public path today. ISD and special-district cards are best-effort index resolution (not full boundary assignment). Need a bookmarkable query contract? Use `/lookup`.
