Texas Basemap - Lidar Elevation Data (DEM)

This resource contains Lidar-DEM collection status shapefiles from the Texas Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS) [http://tnris.org].
November 2023 updates: this year, TNRIS changed its name to Texas Geographic Information Office (TxGIO). The domain name hasn't changed yet, but the data hub is continually evolving. See [1], [2] for current downloadable data.

For purposes of Hurricane Harvey studies, the 1-m DEM for Harris County (2008) has also been uploaded here as a set of 4 zipfiles containing the DEM in tiff files. See [1] for a link to the current elevation status map and downloadable DEMs.
