What 2,376 positive-depth household records tell you
Bandera County has 2,376 domestic reports, and every one in the current county file includes a positive borehole depth. Those logs have a 500-foot median, while their middle half runs from 440 to 640 feet. The calculated 90th-percentile marker is 780 feet, and the full recorded positive range is 38 to 1,400 feet.
The broad spread is useful planning context, but it is not a property estimate. Nearby comparable records, intended demand, access, casing and sealing choices, pump setting, utilities, treatment or storage needs, source documents, and site conditions still belong in the review.

Bandera County’s well file serves several purposes
Domestic filings lead Bandera County’s 2,764 submitted reports with 2,376 records, followed by 154 stock, 54 public-supply, 54 test-well, 38 environmental soil-boring, 33 irrigation, and 32 monitoring records. Keep those purposes separate so livestock, public-supply, investigative, agricultural, and monitoring work does not distort household planning.
Domestic depth logs
All 2,376 domestic filings include a positive depth. Their 500-foot median and 440-to-640-foot middle band provide the cleanest household comparison.
Stock depth logs
All 154 stock filings include a positive depth, with a 520-foot median and a separate operating-demand profile.
Public-supply depth logs
All 54 public-supply filings include a positive depth, with a 610-foot median and a different demand profile.
Test-well depth logs
All 54 test-well filings include a positive depth, with a 640-foot median tied to investigative work rather than household demand.
Irrigation depth logs
All 33 irrigation filings include a positive depth, with a 760-foot median and a separate water-demand profile.
The remaining mix includes 38 environmental soil-boring, 32 monitoring, ten other-use, six industrial, six closed-loop geothermal, and one rig-supply record.
Bandera County records need to be sorted by purpose
A countywide average that blends household wells with stock, public-supply, test-well, environmental, irrigation, monitoring, industrial, geothermal, rig-supply, and other uses is not a clean comparison. Household planning should begin with the domestic records.
The complete Bandera County job is more than drilling footage
Gate width, road conditions, overhead lines, septic placement, distance to power, intended demand, and equipment choices all belong in the plan.
Property access
Roads, gates, low branches, overhead lines, utility conflicts, turning room, drainage, and a safe stabilized work pad.
Water demand
Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.
Pump and power
Pump selection, anticipated drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.
Complete installation
Casing, completion materials, testing, storage, plumbing, treatment, cleanup, and startup.
Build the estimate around what the Bandera County property actually needs.
Share the address, intended use, access, timing, and any existing well information. TurnKey Wells reviews the project context and connects the owner with a qualified water-well professional for the next step.
Separate drilling footage from the finished system
A complete Bandera County budget may include mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, trenching, electrical work, storage, testing, treatment, drainage, and cleanup. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major categories behind a headline estimate.
The Pre-Drill Report can bring nearby well records and property details into one review, but no county pattern predicts the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, salinity, or water quality at one property. Use property-specific research before treating a county pattern as a drilling plan.

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report
The county information on this page shows broad patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one Bandera County property before you compare drilling quotes or choose the next step for your land.
- Nearby recorded wells and reported depths
- Property access and site-planning questions
- Questions to ask before drilling begins
- A clearer picture of the complete water system
Understand the ground before you drill. Property conditions can change across the county. A property-specific review brings nearby well records, location, intended use, access, and complete-system questions together before you request a drilling quote.

Plain answers before you plan the work
What do Bandera County household well records show?
The county file includes 2,376 positive domestic borehole-depth logs with a 500-foot median, a 440-to-640-foot middle band, a 780-foot calculated 90th percentile, and a 38-to-1,400-foot full range.
Why should Bandera County records be separated by use?
Domestic records lead the file, followed by stock, public-supply, test-well, environmental soil-boring, irrigation, monitoring, other-use, industrial, geothermal, and rig-supply filings. Keeping each purpose separate avoids turning non-household work into a household expectation.
Does a countywide depth pattern predict one property?
No. County records do not prove the producing interval, total depth, water level, yield, salinity, or water quality at one property.
Which groundwater rules apply in Bandera County?
Registration, permitting, spacing, construction, and reporting requirements can depend on the Bandera County property, district boundary, well type, and intended use. Confirm current requirements before work begins.
What should a complete drilling quote include?
Compare mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, electrical and trenching work, testing, treatment or storage where needed, elevation and drainage details, startup, and cleanup.
Water well planning across Bandera County
Property owners ask about well planning around Bandera, Lakehills, Pipe Creek, Medina, Vanderpool, county roads, ranches, homesites, and rural acreage between them. Start with the exact address or coordinates, intended water use, access, utilities, wastewater components, and nearby domestic records; a community label does not prove shared subsurface conditions, water quality, yield, or private-well feasibility.
