Fulshear Named One of the Safest Cities in Texas for 2026

They say everything’s bigger in Texas, but in Fulshear, crime stats are refreshingly small. How do we know? Fulshear was recently ranked No. 8 on SafeWise’s 2026 list of the safest cities to live in Texas.
The home security review site crunched the numbers on violent and property crime rates across 343 Texas cities, factoring in population to ensure fair comparisons. The result? Fulshear stands tall as a place where residents can truly relax and enjoy peace of mind.
So, what makes Fulshear such a standout when it comes to safety? It’s not just luck or geography, it’s intentional, strategic efforts by the community and local authorities, starting with the Fulshear Police Department.
The department is impressive. Their officers receive extensive training in critical areas such as crime prevention, crisis management, and community-oriented policing. Their proactive approach is best exemplified by the Vacation Watch Program, a brilliant initiative designed to protect residents while they’re away. Simply let the department know you will be away and trained officers will check on your home and stay in touch if anything seems amiss.
A strong sense of community also helps. In master-planned communities like Cross Creek West, neighbors know and look out for each other. Active Neighborhood Watch programs and friendly connections make it easier to prevent crime and foster a sense of security.
High-performing schools are often an indicator of a thriving community. Great schools attract involved families, and involved families build strong, safe neighborhoods. Families in Cross Creek West are zoned to Lamar CISD, a district known for excellence in education
