The place. Batesville is a small community in Zavala County, in the south of Texas, with a population that fits on a handful of streets. Homes here are valued well below what is typical for much of the state, and household incomes across Zavala County are on the low side. Winters are mild and short, with almost no snow, and summers are hot, with August the warmest month.

Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Nothing on the list of nearby places is close, so outings here usually mean a drive. The Grand Opera House, a theatre, is a longer drive away. So is Averhoff Reservoir, a reservoir, and Blanco Creek, a river, makes a quieter trip, also a longer drive away.
