Counts are approximate, drawn from public RRC records, and include active and plugged wells. Not a substitute for a title or mineral search.
Non-Native & Exotic Wildlife in Medina County
Free-ranging exotics have been recorded in Medina County: Aoudad (Barbary sheep) and Blackbuck. These are citizen-science observations — they indicate presence, not population, and may include high-fenced animals, so absence of records is not proof a species is absent. For hunters, it places Medina County within established exotic range.
Data Centers & Water Demand in Medina County
There are 5 data centers on record in Medina County. Data centers are among the largest industrial groundwater users, so large-scale facilities nearby can add competition for the same aquifers a private well would draw from — worth weighing if you’ll depend on groundwater for this property.
