Understanding Billing Cycles and Due Dates
Bandera Electric bills monthly, but your specific due date depends on your service area:
- Incorporated Customers – Due on the 10th
- Rural Customers – Due on the 15th
If your due date falls on a holiday or weekend, you have until the next business day to pay. I recommend paying a few days early to be safe.
You’ll receive your bill about 3 weeks before it’s due. Pay attention to the due date on your statement to avoid late fees.
Avoid Late Payment Fees
If your bill isn’t paid on time, Bandera Electric charges a 5% penalty on the past due balance. Ouch!
To avoid late fees, schedule your online payment as soon as you receive your bill. You can pick a future payment date up to a month out.
Setting up auto-pay through your bank or Bandera Electric’s bank draft feature is another good option. It automatically pays each month by the due date.

- Update your contact info to receive billing notifications.
- Review statements for abnormal usage and contact customer service if needed.
- Check payment history anytime in your online account.
