Converse, Texas
An east-side city with its own packet
Start official questions at the City of Converse. The city sits east of central San Antonio along FM 78, close enough that phones insist you are still in the hub. You are not, if the sign says Converse. Street cuts, inspections, and park-adjacent staging follow this hall.
Lots here are mostly mid-century to late-century slabs: copper that has been repaired twice, PVC that has seen wipes, garage heaters, and the occasional commercial suite along the farm-to-market. We write this page so those failures carry the right map.
No invented Toepperwein shopfront. No star widget. TDLR is the license door.
Parks used as pins
The city’s Parks page lists City Park at 307 School Street and North Park at 8200 Spring Town. Those are the civic greens we will name. Ball-field weekends change curb space. Say if you need a rear driveway.
North Park’s trail work and the School Street park are useful when a driver is coming off 1604 or FM 78. They are not job sites we claim and we will not use park photos as “our work.”
Nearby cities that are not this page: Live Oak, Universal City, Schertz, and Cibolo.
Failures we see on these lots
Kitchen lines after a holiday. Running toilets that have been “adjusted” for years. Heaters that roar with sediment. Slab hiss under a hall that still looks dry. A cleanout buried in a side yard that nobody has opened since the last owner.
Because lots are modest, a sewer excavation is a neighborhood event. Camera first. If the line is PVC and greasy, hydro jetting may be the cleaner fix. If the line is clay and offset, jetting is a risk we will discuss, not a personality test.
Active water in a room is still an emergency plumber problem. Lukewarm showers can wait for daylight. Say which one you are.
- Write Converse, not “near Randolph” or “near 1604.”
- Mention City Park or North Park only if that actually places the street.
- Note crawlspace versus slab if you have an older surprise.
How Converse connects
North and east sit Universal City and Schertz. West is San Antonio proper. South-east conversations sometimes wander toward Floresville — that is a different county drive. Use the driveway.

What a Converse request should include
Write FM 78 versus Kitty Hawk versus a named park. Write whether the cleanout is buried. Write if a previous remodel hid the heater. Those are staging facts, not essays.
If you work on a nearby installation and live here, this is still the house page. We do not claim base contracts. Military geography is a driving note.
Hard water does not skip Converse. Flushing history matters. “Never” is acceptable.
Civic start: conversetx.gov. Parks: City Park and North Park. Licenses: TDLR. San Antonio permits only if the lot is actually in San Antonio.
East-side weather and honest scope
A wet yard after a storm is not a diagnosis. Creek and drainage corridors hold water. We still test the meter before anyone talks about opening a floor.
Light commercial along FM 78 needs hours and an alarm note. We do that work. We do not invent a shopping-center sponsorship.
If you also own a building inside Loop 410, send two requests. This page is the Converse driveway.
No reviews. No invented license graphic. The map on this page is centered on Converse, not on Alamo Plaza.
Mid-century copper and FM 78 heat
A lot of Converse housing is old enough that the original copper has been patched and the heater has been replaced once already — sometimes without a pan that drains to daylight. That is how a quiet garage becomes a pond. Write whether you can see a drain from the tank.
School Street and Spring Town are useful because the city’s park page names them. They are not a diagnosis. A wet yard after a ball-field weekend is often irrigation or drainage. We still test the meter before anyone talks about opening a floor.
Kitty Hawk traffic and 1604 backups change night ETAs. We will not pretend otherwise. Write a rear approach if the curb is already full. Light commercial on FM 78 needs an alarm note and a person who can stay.
Heater swaps written for this city live at water heater replacement in Converse. Hidden supply stays on leak detection until someone proves the tank is the puddle.
How to keep a Converse ticket honest
Write Converse. Write the nearest park only if it places the street. Write fuel type. Write whether the cleanout is buried. That is enough for a first roll.
If you also own a suite inside Loop 410, send two requests. Mixing a Converse house and a downtown shop in one paragraph is how tickets stall.
No reviews. No invented licenses. Official start remains conversetx.gov and the parks list. Licenses stay on TDLR.
