About Us:

The Hondo Area Chamber of Commerce extends a very warm welcome to newcomers and visitors to the Hondo area and Medina County.

We are a very active community partner. Our membership includes the majority of the Hondo area and encompasses D'Hanis, Tarpley, Yancey, New Fountain, and Quihi businesses along with the interesting and caring individual members. (By clicking on the cities whose names are underlined, you will be taken to their websites.)

The Chamber along with the Hondo Area Economic Development Committee (HEDC), work together to develop our existing businesses while marketing and encouraging new businesses to settle in the Hondo area. In addition to our economic development efforts, the Chamber works to improve the quality of life for the folks who live and work in the area with a variety of community wide events, activities and community recognition.

The Hondo area has 6 apartment complexes and quite a few rental houses, 4 free parks & playgrounds, 2 parks that require a deposit, the Medina County Fair Hall that is available for rental, a soccer field, 2 baseball parks, a bowling alley, a movie theater that shows the most current movie releases, a public swimming pool, a nine-hole golf course and so much more.

Fire protection for the area is provided through the Hondo, Yancey and D'Hanis Volunteer Fire Departments.

Hondo has a great police department and is also home to the Medina County Sheriff's Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The communities of Hondo and D'Hanis boast of first rate educational systems, (Hondo spreading across four campuses) with active and successful programs in academics, sports, music and agriculture.

Last year, 91% of Hondo High School graduates pursued higher education or additional vocational training, 5% joined the military and 4% went directly into the workforce.

Hondo is also the home of Medina Community Hospital, a critical access facility with a level IV trauma designation, offering many medical services to the community and surrounding area. The E.R. is fully staffed 24/7 to handle emergencies.

We also provide a venue for local businesses to advertise their services on our Advertising Page. If you would like to place an ad on this web site, contact the Chamber.

The Chamber also provides a variety of souvenirs and merchandise that can be purchased in our office. Take a look at what we have to offer by visiting the Merchandise Page for images and pricing information.

While a great deal more of Hondo area specific information can be found on this site, we encourage you to visit us in downtown Hondo. The Chamber can be your source for a wide range of information, housing availability and up-to-date lists of hunting leases.
