Texas City New Fire Station No. 5

The City of Texas City is moving forward with the construction of a new fire station at 3900 FM 2004 in Texas City, Texas. This new facility, filed under the name Texas City New Fire Station No. 5, will occupy a 11,900 sq ft footprint on public land in Galveston County. The project represents a significant capital investment, with an estimated cost of $10,318,000.

Registered with TDLR in October 2026, the project is in the plan review stage. The construction schedule is slated to begin in January 2027, with completion targeted for January 2028. This timeline indicates a planned build window of 365 days, which is longer than the 214-day median for similar new construction projects in the county.

Project Scale and Cost

The estimated cost of $10,318,000 translates to approximately $867 per square foot. This figure is significantly above the county median of $116 per square foot for new construction filings. The total project value places it in the top quarter of recent Galveston County filings, reflecting the specialized nature of emergency response infrastructure. The scope of work is strictly defined as the new construction of the fire station itself.

William T Winning is the registered accessibility specialist of record for this project. The City of Texas City serves as the owner and developer. This facility is part of a broader municipal development strategy, as the city has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $24,000,000, including the recently closed Texas City Fire Station 4 & Police Substation in Galveston.

The project involves public funds and public land. For context, the surrounding area in ZIP code 77339 has a population of about 43,364 residents according to U.S. Census estimates. The median household income in this area is $84,015, and the median owner-occupied home value is $274,900. The Galveston County unemployment rate was 4.9 percent in August 2026, a figure lower than the rate a year earlier.
