Resi Metrics’ Texas Due Diligence Background is a turnkey Mobile Map Package (.mmpk) built for clients who want a ready-to-use, professional GIS due diligence environment without the friction of enterprise software licensing, user seats, or long-term platform commitments. This file delivers the same pre-formatted, intuitive mapping experience that defines Resi Metrics’ popular Land Use and Entitlements and Affordable Housing Policy mobile map packages, now applied to the environmental, infrastructure, and site-risk layers that matter most in Texas real estate diligence through ArcGIS Earth — a powerful, intuitive, free-use desktop GIS viewer that allows Resi Metrics to deliver an institution-grade, highly polished mapping experience at a fraction of the cost of many competing subscription-based GIS applications.
Reflective of our commitment to advancing understanding of affordable housing policy, the package also includes a statewide inventory of currently open and previously withdrawn LIHTC applications for the 2026 TDHCA program year, adding valuable housing-policy and market-context intelligence to the broader diligence workflow.
Rather than forcing users to assemble public datasets one by one, troubleshoot web services, normalize fields, or build their own viewing environment, Resi Metrics delivers a single purchase, a single download, and a single map experience. Open the file in ArcGIS Earth and begin performing due diligence screening for sites across the state of Texas immediately.
What’s Included
The Texas Due Diligence Background is a Texas-focused due diligence map stack delivered exclusively as an Esri Mobile Map Package (.mmpk). It is designed to function as a practical background screening and diligence resource for brokers, developers, site selectors, consultants, landowners, and other real estate professionals who need a faster way to understand environmental and physical site constraints.
This package brings together a wide range of important background layers into one pre-formatted mapping environment, including categories such as:
- flood hazard mapping from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
- wetlands and riparian features from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
- streams and topographic context from the United States Geological Survey and the Texas Department of Transportation
- remediation and environmental program sites from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
- landfills from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
- railroads, traffic counts, and junkyards from the Texas Department of Transportation
- well and pipeline data from the Railroad Commission of Texas
- housing-program and application context, including LIHTC activity, from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs
In addition to the environmental and infrastructure layers, the package includes TDHCA Applications, giving users direct visibility into recent multifamily application activity across Texas, including 4% and 9% LIHTC application groupings and published application statuses. Built with our affordable housing developer-clients in mind, this statewide application inventory gives users a practical way to understand housing-program activity and site competition alongside the broader due diligence map stack.
The result is a turnkey diligence background file that helps users identify many of the environmental and site-risk layers commonly reviewed in Texas real estate screening.

These documents are especially useful for teams evaluating the package before purchase, as they clarify the included layers, source coverage, visible attributes, and intended ArcGIS Earth implementation.
How to Use It
Using the Texas Due Diligence Background is simple. Download and install ArcGIS Earth, then open Resi Metrics’ Mobile Map Package to place an institution-grade due diligence background at your fingertips in minutes. ArcGIS Earth is a free application built for visualizing and exploring geospatial content in 3D, with support for map packages and a wide range of geospatial formats and services, on desktop and mobile devices.
This is the advantage of the Resi Metrics approach: no software subscriptions, no seat management, no complicated setup, and no need to assemble datasets on your own. You download the application, open our file, and begin working in a polished, professional GIS environment. In most cases, between download, installation, and opening the map, the product can be up and running in about 10 minutes.
Why We Are Different
Most GIS data products on the market require software subscriptions, managed seats, or a lengthy implementation process before the buyer can actually use the data.
With Resi Metrics, the value proposition is simple:
- industry-grade GIS experience in a turnkey package
- a single purchase
- no licenses to manage
- no seats to assign
- no long-term commitment required
If you like the dataset and want it refreshed over time, optional quarterly updates are available — but they are not required to make the initial purchase worthwhile.
Delivery
Upon purchase, the dataset files are delivered through Resi Metrics’ secure file delivery service, SendOwl, along with an email that allows the buyer to optionally subscribe to product updates. This delivery workflow provides a secure, practical download experience for larger GIS deliverables.
This product is delivered as a Mobile Map Package (.mmpk) only.
We intentionally offer this dataset as an MMPK-only solution because the Mobile Map Package format capitalizes on the strengths of ArcGIS Earth — a powerful, intuitive, and user-friendly GIS application for desktop and mobile devices — and allows Resi Metrics to deliver its clients an institution-grade, turnkey mapping experience through a single file delivery.
By delivering the dataset as an MMPK, Resi Metrics is able to take full advantage of that environment:
- better performance with larger datasets
- richer attributes and layer organization
- more practical multi-layer workflows
- a more complete and polished viewing experience in ArcGIS Earth
For the intended experience, this file should be opened in ArcGIS Earth.
Optional Quarterly Updates
Optional quarterly updates are available for up to one year after purchase at:
$125 per quarter
Updates may be requested by email to Resi Metrics following the initial purchase.
This means the buyer can choose the model that fits their workflow:
- purchase once and use the current dataset as delivered
- or optionally continue with quarterly refreshes, without committing to a subscription platform or annual license

Important Note
This dataset is intended as a background screening and due diligence resource. It is designed to help users quickly identify mapped constraints, risks, and contextual layers in a single environment, but it is not a substitute for formal site-specific reports, legal review, engineering analysis, title work, survey work, or environmental consulting where those are required.
