Alvin is a city in Brazoria County, about 25 miles southeast of downtown Houston, and part of the greater Houston metropolitan area. Incorporated in 1893, it was the first incorporated city in Brazoria County and grew up around the Santa Fe railroad and the cattle pens that first put it on the map. Over the years its economy moved through cattle, fruit and vegetable farming, and a long stretch as rice country, while the oil, natural gas, and petrochemical industries of eastern Brazoria County remain a major part of the regional economy today.
Alvin is proud of its small-town roots and is best known nationally as the hometown of Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, who grew up there and still carries the "Ryan Express" connection that locals celebrate. Today the city pairs that heritage with steady residential growth as families look for a quieter, more affordable base within easy reach of the Houston job market.
In a market built on energy, retail choice lets Alvin homeowners shop the open market for their own electricity plan instead of taking whatever a single utility offers. The wires and meters are still owned and maintained by Texas-New Mexico Power, but the plan, the price, and the rewards are yours to choose.
Report outages to your local utility, Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP), at (888) 866-7456 — not to your retail provider. They restore power no matter which plan you have.
