Real addresses, never a home

Most address generators glue a random house number onto a real street. The row looks fine until a validator, a geocoder, or a shipping API bounces the record. Scraped home addresses fail the other way. The row validates, then a stranger's front door ends up in your bug tracker or a sales demo.

This generator draws from 116 public buildings: city halls, courthouses, libraries, museums, campuses, and stadiums. Each address is the one the place lists for itself, so the row survives an address check without exposing anybody.

Reading a Texas address, line by line

  1. Street line. House number, optional direction (N, S, E, W), street name, then the suffix. Texas mail uses the USPS short forms: St, Ave, Blvd, Pkwy, Fwy.
  2. Last line. City, the two-letter code TX, then the five-digit ZIP. A comma after the city is optional for USPS but most forms expect one.
  3. County. Never printed on mail. Voter registration, property tax, and jury forms ask for the county anyway, and Texas has 254 of them, more than any other state.

Texas ZIP prefixes in this dataset

Texas ZIP codes start with 75 through 79, plus 885 for part of El Paso. The first three digits name the USPS sorting center, so a ZIP starting 787 outside Central Texas is a data error.

Five test cases these rows catch

  1. Unique campus ZIP codes

    78712, 79409, 79968, and 77843 each belong to a single university. Some ZIP tables leave out unique ZIPs and then reject a valid campus address. Set Place type to University campus to pull these rows on purpose.

  2. Two-word cities, and a county named after its city

    Corpus Christi, College Station, and Round Rock break parsers splitting the last line on spaces. El Paso sits in El Paso County, which trips forms built to auto-fill county from city and dedupe the pair.

  3. Punctuation in the street line

    5205 N O'Connor Blvd and 650 S R.L. Thornton Fwy carry an apostrophe and periods. 1314 Avenue K is a lettered street where "Avenue" is part of the name, not a suffix to shorten. Compare what your form saves against the USPS line on each card.

  4. Area code overlays

    Houston runs 713, 281, 832, and 346. The Dallas side of the metro runs 214, 469, 972, and 945. A phone field tying one area code to one city rejects real numbers from both.

  5. Sales tax ceilings

    Texas charges 6.25% state sales tax, and cities, counties, and transit districts add up to 2% on top. Most cities in this pool sit at the 8.25% cap. If a tax lookup returns more than 8.25% for any row here, the bug is in the lookup.

Where this generator stops

Texas address generator questions

Are these real Texas addresses?

Yes. Each row is the published address of a public building, such as the Texas State Capitol at 1100 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701. Press Map on any card to see the pin.

Why no residential addresses?

A home address belongs to a person. Dropping one into fixtures, screenshots, or a public demo exposes a stranger. Public buildings pass the same address checks without the risk.

Will these rows pass address validation?

The street, city, and ZIP on every row come from the place's own listing, so standard USPS-based validators accept them. Unique campus ZIPs such as 79409 fail in a few older ZIP tables. Treat the failure as a bug in the table.

How many addresses per click?

Up to 10. The generator skips places already on screen, so each click brings new rows until the filtered pool runs out. Past the last fresh row, results repeat.

Which copy format fits my job?

Mailing label for mail merge templates. One line for spreadsheets and autofill tests. USPS caps for comparing against a validator. CSV for database seeds. JSON for API fixtures.

Does the page give coordinates or ZIP+4?

No. The Map button opens the place in Google Maps for coordinates, and the USPS ZIP Code lookup returns the ZIP+4 for any street line here.
