Free, from the source.

The appraisal district's own property search and parcel map are listed under local sources below. Data resellers charge for copies of the same records. Add the layer to a Felt map by URL to filter, measure and share parcels with your team.
Mostly inside city limits. Texas counties have no general zoning power, with narrow exceptions: Cooke County zones the land within 5,000 feet of Lake Ray Roberts under Local Government Code chapter 231, subchapter F. Unzoned is not unregulated: Texas counties review subdivision plats and septic systems, and most permit development in the floodplain. Each city decides whether and how to zone. The city limits layer shows which city, if any, governs a site, and the cities' zoning maps are listed under local sources below.
7 cities and towns lie mostly inside Cooke County: Gainesville, Muenster, Lindsay, Road Runner, Valley View, Callisburg and Oak Ridge. Parts of Pilot Point reach in from neighbouring counties. The Census Bureau's current boundaries for incorporated places map each one.
13.4% of Cooke County's land and inland water lies in FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area, the floodplain with a 1% chance of flooding in any year (zone A and its subtypes such as AE, plus V zones on the coast). The county's flood map (FIRM) took effect on January 16, 2008. Since then, 2 letters of map revision have changed it, the latest effective April 27, 2016. Flood zones are a planning screen, not a determination: check the effective FIRM for a specific property.
HIFLD maps 204 miles of transmission line inside Cooke County: 148 mi at 138 kV and 56 mi at 345 kV. It marks 146 of those miles in service and records no status for the rest. The live map colours each line by voltage.
