Baird is the county seat of Callahan County, east of Abilene on I-20 (population 1,479 at the 2020 census). Ranches and rural homes around Baird often rely on private wells for household and livestock water.
Groundwater around Baird
A Texas Water Development Board report on Callahan County describes the Antlers aquifer as an important historical source of water in the area, including early municipal wells west of Baird. Conditions vary from tract to tract, so look up nearby well reports and ask local drillers what they're seeing.
Permits
From what we could find in state records, Callahan County is not currently in a groundwater conservation district. State construction standards still apply, and county development rules may apply to subdivisions. Confirm current requirements for your property before drilling.
