Summary

government municipal texas houston
The AS handle HARRIS-COUNTY-AS is held by Harris County, the government of a major county in Texas, USA.
What it's used for

HARRIS-COUNTY-NETWORKand the reverse DNS recordfilexfr.hcpid.org(Harris County Public Information Division). - The AS announces 1280 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and maintains 2 observed routing neighbours, a ratio consistent with a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or large access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of internal government services, including public information systems and administrative endpoints for the county's operations.
Notable

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-01, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
