Fresno is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States.
Fresno is located in the extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of Houston,[5][6] which is the fourth largest city in the nation in population.
In 1936 it had three rows of dwellings on both sides of a paved highway (old Hwy 288, present day FM 521) and was served by the International-Great Northern Railroad.
[8] With its prime location on FM 521 and north of State Highway 6 in unincorporated Fort Bend County, developers have recently built large bedroom communities over what was once forest and grazing land, and a number of first-time homeowners have made the Fresno area home.
The demographics in the Fresno area have changed dramatically since the last United States Census in 2000 due to a large increase in home building.
Among the largest communities in Fresno are the six neighborhoods that make up the Fort Bend MUD #23 area.
Teal Run, the oldest of the neighborhoods, was originally started in the 1980s, and development stopped with the Houston oil crash in the late 1980s.
NewPoint Estates, located across from Teal Run on Highway 6 and Darby Road, is an area for acreage-type home sites, stables and expensive properties.
Cambridge Falls started with infrastructure additions (lights, gas, water, sewer lines, streets) in 2005.
The newly built Fort Bend Tollway has given eastern Fort Bend County residents another option of travel into the city of Houston, as the Tollway is 6.2 miles (10.0 km) long from Highway 6 to U.S. Highway 90 in southwest Houston, and eventually will travel all the way to Loop 610.
A typical trip down FM 521, which turns into Almeda in Houston, or State Highway 288 north into the Texas Medical Center, takes at least 30–45 minutes in rush hour traffic.
The Teal Bend subdivision is also patrolled by contract deputies of the Precinct 1 Constable's Office.
The United States Postal Service operates the Fresno Post Office at 2723 Farm to Market Road 521.
The 5-acre (20,000 m2) community center includes one baseball field, benches, one meeting room, two pavilions, one play area, tables, and one walking trail.
