New builds, pre-1980 houses and manufactured homes.
Homes built since 2010
More than half of the homes in 77447 were built in 2010 or later, and about 1,636 were built in 2020 or later. In 2017, Community Impact reported that rural Hockley was starting to see growth because it sits near US 290 and the Grand Parkway. Dellrose and Bauer Landing had already opened, and developers said more than 2,000 homes were planned between them. D.R. Horton's Cypress Green sits off FM 2920. A house built in the last few years may still need a patio circuit, a shop feed or extra lighting.
Pre-1980 houses and mobile homes
Not every house here is new. About 829 homes in 77447 were built before 1980, and about 853 are mobile homes. In an older house, an inspection looks at the grounding, the panel's condition and any additions wired in over the years. On a manufactured home, we check the service feed and its connections before recommending repairs.
Well pumps, barns and shops
Grain farms and cattle ranches surround the community. If your property draws water from a private well, the pump needs a correctly sized dedicated circuit and a disconnect. A barn or shop on acreage needs its own feed, sized to the equipment it runs.
Cypress Creek and Harvey
During Hurricane Harvey, Community Impact reported that more than 20 inches of rain had fallen in Hockley by Aug. 27, 2017.

Questions we get from Hockley.
Hockley has no city hall. Who handles permits for electrical work at my 77447 address?
For the Harris County side, the county engineer's residential permit page lists projects such as new homes, garages, pools and accessory structures, and it does not mention electrical work. Parts of 77447 also fall in Waller and Montgomery counties. We check what applies at your exact address and take care of any permit or inspection the work needs.
Who is my electric utility in Hockley?
On the state Power to Choose site, every retail plan listed for 77447 names CenterPoint Energy as the delivery utility, and you pick your own retail provider. Check the delivery utility named on your bill.
Does a barn used only for ranching in Hockley need a licensed electrician?
TDLR's electrician FAQ says a state license is not required for work on buildings or equipment used only for farming or ranching. The same FAQ says electrical work in an unincorporated area otherwise still requires a Texas electrical license.
My house in Cypress Green is only a few years old. Can it take an EV charger?
It depends on the panel: whether it has open spaces and how much of its capacity the house already uses. D.R. Horton lists tankless water heaters in Cypress Green homes, and if yours is electric, it counts toward that load. Both get checked before we give you a free written estimate for a Level 2 charger.
