Rice is a desirable location for modern, rural living – it offers the charm of a small town with the convenience of a sprawling suburb.
With larger cities like Ennis and Corsicana only 15 minutes away – and Dallas less than an hour away – shopping, restaurants, and entertainment are all easily accessible.
In addition to residential properties in the city limits, Rice has an ample ETJ. Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction ( ETJ ) is a designated buffer area located just outside the city limits. Each municipality is afforded an ETJ by the Texas Local Government Code as a method of defining potential growth and future service boundaries.
