Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Renova, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Texas' counties, including Angelina, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Renova - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
