Deport is deregulated, but like Blossom up the road its wires belong to Texas-New Mexico Power rather than Oncor — one of TNMP's scattered pockets along the Red River country. The difference only matters for outages: you still pick a retail electric provider from 150+ plans on Power to Choose for ZIP 75435, and TNMP is who restores power after a storm.
