Is Mineral Wells in Parker County or Palo Pinto County?
Both — but mostly Palo Pinto County, with a portion extending into Parker County. The City of Mineral Wells straddles the Palo Pinto/Parker county line, and the larger share sits in Palo Pinto. Its 2020 census population was about 14,820. Note that Palo Pinto (not Mineral Wells) is the Palo Pinto County seat. Which county your address is in affects your taxes and voting, so confirm your parcel's county with the appraisal district.
