Tree Removal on Both Sides of the Line in Troup, TX
Troup, Texas, is a railroad town of about 2,000 people that straddles the Smith and Cherokee county line, where State Highways 110 and 135 share the downtown blocks. It is roughly fifteen miles northeast of Jacksonville by way of SH-135, and Troup ISD serves the town. Troup was platted in 1873 along the International Railroad line, and its older streets carry the pecans, red oaks and sweetgums that a century and a half of shade produces, many of them now taller than the houses. Outside the grid the land turns to pasture edged with pine and to fence-row hardwoods that have not been cut in decades. Spring storms rolling in from the west hit Troup before they reach Jacksonville, so we often hear from Troup first when a line of storms comes through. Either side of the county line, no permit is needed to remove a tree on your own land here.
