Yes. Coastal Bend Co-op Gin is listed with a Corpus Christi address, in Nueces County. Counting straight-line from downtown Corpus Christi, 9 gins on this list are within 25 miles and 12 within 50. The closest others are West Portland Gin in Taft (about 9 miles) and Gregory Gin Co. in Gregory (about 11 miles). Harlingen Gin Co isn't counted because we don't have its map coordinates yet.
San Patricio County: 488,950 running bales of the 2025 crop and 7 active gins, per USDA NASS. We list 8 there, in Gregory, Mathis, Odem, Sinton and Taft. See the San Patricio County page. Fort Bend (74,300) and Cameron (17,200) are the only other South Texas counties here with published totals. NASS withholds the rest to protect individual gins' data.
