Cresson is in three counties — which one am I actually in?

Cresson straddles Parker, Hood, and Johnson counties at the US-377/SH-171 crossroads. The city sits where all three counties meet, about 25 miles southwest of Fort Worth. Which county you're in changes your tax bills, voting, and school zone, so it genuinely matters. Confirm your parcel's county with the Cresson city office or the county appraisal districts before relying on it — the line runs right through town.
