Como, TX

Como is a Hopkins County town on State Highway 11, ten miles southeast of Sulphur Springs and thirteen miles northwest of Winnsboro. The 2020 census counted 728 residents. The road gives Como a practical regional role, carrying residents toward the county seat while keeping the town connected to the farms and small communities of southeastern Hopkins County. Como-Pickton Consolidated Independent School District is based here, so the school system is part of the town’s civic footprint as well as an education service.

Como’s current municipal work revolves around water, emergency services, job postings, alerts, and community events, all handled through the town’s municipal site. The city also emphasizes preserving historical, cultural, and natural heritage, which fits a town whose main connections run through the school district and Highway 11. Como is a compact service center on the highway: school buses, local water operations, and trips to Sulphur Springs or Winnsboro define its practical connections. The 2020 count of 728 keeps the scale visible without reducing Como to a number.
