Texas power outage maps

How to find the right outage map

1. Find the outage or emergency contact on your bill. It may name a transmission and distribution utility (TDU), municipal utility or electric cooperative.
2. Open that utility’s map and look up your address using its own search tools.
3. Report your loss of power through the utility’s official reporting channel, even if a map does not yet show your address.
4. Check the utility’s update time and any restoration estimate. An estimate may change as crews assess damage.

This page links to official resources; it does not receive live outage data or accept outage reports. A blank map or missing marker does not establish that your home has power. TNMP’s map guidance (opens in a new tab), for example, describes reporting delays and changing restoration estimates.

Common questions about Texas power outages

Which map should I use in Dallas or Houston?

Oncor is a common starting point for Dallas–Fort Worth, and CenterPoint for Houston. Use the company on your bill to confirm: city boundaries do not determine every service territory, and some nearby addresses use a co-op or another utility.

Will switching my retail provider restore power?

Changing an electricity plan does not repair a local line outage or change the delivery wires at the same address. Contact the utility for restoration and your retailer for account or billing issues.

What if the utility’s map will not load?

Use its outage-help page or the phone number on your bill. Maps may need JavaScript and can be slower during busy periods. Do not wait for a map to load before reporting an emergency.

Where can I prepare for a longer outage?

Use Ready.gov’s power-outage guidance (opens in a new tab) for preparation and safety, and the National Weather Service (opens in a new tab) for local weather alerts. Our Texas winter-storm guide covers cold-weather planning.
