Hays County, Texas
Hays County straddles I-35 between Austin and San Antonio, anchored by San Marcos and the boom towns of Kyle and Buda, with Hill Country communities at Dripping Springs and Wimberley. The I-35 side absorbs subdivisions at metro pace, while the western half sits over the Edwards Aquifer, where recharge-zone and impervious-cover rules constrain platting.
