Burr, also known as Lawson's Corner or Kriegel Switch, is an unincorporated community in eastern Wharton County, in the U.S. state of Texas.

The small community is situated on Farm to Market Road 1301 (FM 1301) to the east of the county seat at Wharton.

His son and successor to the plantation, Gerard Alexander Harrison built a general store that rivaled any in Wharton in 1889.

During the Reconstruction Era, Isam Davenport, an African-American, served as Justice of the Peace and County Commissioner.

He allegedly made a habit of sentencing blacks convicted of petty crimes to work in his cotton field.

A German immigrant, Charles Kriegel moved to the area in 1896 and bought the Lawson store the following year.

Gerard Harrison moved the post office to his store and named it Burr after his father.
