You can typically find flood plain information with regards to a specific piece of property on Property Appraisal District maps. Dallas County Appraisal District has online maps that are quite useful for checking these things. Seems like San Antonio has a similar site....as does the Austin area. The appraisal district of course get their information from other sources....but I have found that appraisal districts are very good at pointing out unbuild-able land...as it is in their best interest to know where and what is build-able. In addition, many regions or cities maintain zoning and planning maps that are on line. These maps will usually have topography and flood limits. I know the North Texas Council of Governments keeps that information for much of the Metroplex. I have found that some cities keep fairly detailed GIS type maps in a pdf format on line...and this is also a good source for flood plain and other encroachment ( ie easements, ROWs, etc.. ) information on property.
