Older established neighborhoods in Fort Worth and Dallas still carry 100A service and fuse-box era equipment, while newer builds in Frisco, Prosper and Celina across Denton and Collin counties are 200A from new. What the report flags depends on the age of the house as much as the address, which is why an inspection is most useful on a home over 25 years old, one you have just bought, or one about to take a major appliance.
