About Coupland
Coupland is a city of approximately 300 residents in southeastern Williamson County, Texas, situated at the intersection of FM 1660 and FM 973 approximately 15 miles east of Round Rock and 10 miles south of Taylor. The city was established in 1887 when the Bastrop and Taylor Railway was constructed through the area, and it is named for Major Theodore Van Buren Coupland, whose family owned large tracts of land along Brushy Creek. Coupland incorporated in November 2012 on the 125th anniversary of its founding, making it one of the newest incorporated cities in the county despite its long history.
Real estate in Coupland consists of rural and semi-rural properties, with most homes sitting on acreage ranging from half an acre to 20+ acres. Home prices vary widely based on land size and improvements, typically ranging from the low $200,000s for smaller lots to over $500,000 for properties with larger acreage. The housing stock includes older farmhouses, ranch-style homes, and newer custom builds on rural tracts. There are no subdivisions or master-planned communities in Coupland — the area maintains its agricultural character with open fields, livestock, and unpaved county roads interspersed with residential properties.
Coupland students attend schools in multiple districts depending on their exact location. Coupland ISD operates a small pre-K through 8th grade campus serving approximately 200 students. For high school, most Coupland-area students attend Taylor High School in Taylor ISD, located approximately 10 miles north. A small number of students may be zoned to Thrall ISD or other nearby districts. Coupland ISD is one of the smallest districts in Williamson County.
Coupland's location places it between the growing cities of Taylor (10 miles north), Round Rock (15 miles west), and Elgin (10 miles southeast in Bastrop County). State Highway 95 runs nearby, connecting Taylor to Lockhart. Samsung's $17 billion semiconductor fabrication plant under construction in Taylor is expected to bring significant economic impact to the surrounding area, including Coupland. The city has almost no commercial development — the Coupland Dance Hall, a historic venue for live music and community events, and the Old Coupland Inn are the primary gathering places. Residents rely on Taylor, Round Rock, or Elgin for groceries, medical care, and other services.
Coupland's small size means it operates with a minimal government structure — a mayor and aldermen handle basic municipal functions. The city does not provide water or sewer service; most properties operate on private wells and septic systems. Rural mail delivery and volunteer fire protection serve the area. The eastern Williamson County corridor where Coupland sits has historically been agricultural, but Samsung's Taylor investment and the broader growth of the Austin metro area have increased land values and development interest. Several large tracts near Coupland have changed hands in recent years as investors anticipate future growth along the Highway 79 and FM 973 corridors. Despite this, the city's lack of water and sewer infrastructure limits the potential for dense residential development in the near term. Coupland retains the feel of a crossroads farming community where most lots exceed one acre and neighbors raise livestock.
