It lies 41.3 miles west of Corpus Christi, TX (from Corpus Christi, TX: bearing 266°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north of Ben Bolt. The terrain here is gently rolling, a study in subtle contours where mesquite trees, their thorns like tiny, determined sentinels, dot the fields and pastures.

Here, life unfolds at a pace dictated by the sun’s arc, a quiet persistence in the face of the elements, where the sky feels vast enough to swallow worries whole. The roots of Alice run deep into the ranching heritage of Jim Wells County, a history etched in the hardy spirit of its people and the fertile soil that once sustained vast cattle operations. Today, while agriculture remains a significant thread, the local economy has diversified, embracing industries that echo the region's industrious nature, from oil and gas to manufacturing. The presence of Del Mar College adds a vibrant educational pulse, drawing students from across the region and fostering a sense of forward momentum.
