South-west stone
Cut stone from ROX, Inc.
Twelve miles south-west of Woodcreek, the Mine Safety and Health Administration records ROX, Inc. as a dimension-stone quarry. Cut blocks and slabs leave a site like that on flatbeds and heavy straight trucks, so if yours has carried stone out of ROX, tell us the body type and the deck length when you first get in touch.
A flatbed that has hauled dimension stone often stays parked at the owner’s yard between loads. Give us the address where it sits today, whether it is in a barn, behind a gate or out on a ranch road, and we will arrange the collection to reach it there.
Fifteen-mile rock haul
Hunter and Buda crushed rock
Hunter Quarry lies about 15 miles due south and Buda Quarry about the same distance east, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration lists both as crushed-stone operations. Tandem and tri-axle dump trucks shuttle between pits like these and the job sites around them.
For a dump truck that has worked the Hunter or Buda pits, photograph the bed, the hoist, the tailgate and the cab, and note the axle setup. Send those pictures and the VIN with your first message from Woodcreek.
If a truck still has a quarry access sticker or a site safety card in the glovebox, leave it there; it tells us which pit it served without you needing to look anything up.
Two cement works
Cement from Texas-Lehigh and Balcones
East of town, roughly sixteen miles out, the Mine Safety and Health Administration names the Texas-Lehigh Cement Plant & Quarry; south, near twenty-five miles away, it lists the Balcones Plant as a second cement works. Bulk pneumatic tankers and ready-mix trucks are the equipment that comes and goes from kilns like these.
Sellers of a mixer drum truck or a cement tanker should have the registration and any service records together before calling. Keep scale tickets, plant gate passes and maintenance logs from Texas-Lehigh or Balcones runs with the truck too; they record where it has worked.
Mushroom farms, cattle and horses
Around Woodcreek, USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture counts 940 farms in Hays County, and it ranks mushrooms first among the county’s products, then cattle, then horses and other equine. Livestock haulers, stock trailers pulled by pickups and medium-duty box trucks all show up on farms with that mix.
A cattle or horse truck may be registered to the ranch rather than to a person. Before you call, check whose name is on the title, and if it is a ranch partnership or a family company, have the paperwork that shows who can sign for it.
The Stagecoach Trail tax office
In Texas, titles come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and the state handles them through its county tax assessor-collector offices. For Woodcreek owners, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles points to the Hays County Tax Office at 712 S Stagecoach Trail, Suite 1120, San Marcos, 78666, about 14.6 miles from town.
If the title for your truck has gone missing, start the replacement at that San Marcos office or through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles before you list the truck. Tell us at the outset that a duplicate is on its way, and we can still look at the photos and the VIN while you wait for it.
