Toilet Repair in Royse City, TX
In Royse City, 89% of households are owner-occupiers and just 13% of the housing was built before 1990 — so a pre-standard fixture is the exception here.
Short version
89% of occupied homes in Royse City are owner-occupied, so a failed toilet there is almost always the occupant's own to repair and the occupant's own to pay for. Nothing has to be cleared with anybody before the work is arranged. With most homes built since 1990, the fixture is probably already a 1.6 gallon one and its age is unlikely to be the fault.

What the age of Royse City’s housing suggests
With only 13% of homes built before 1990, Royse City is a town of modern fixtures. EPA’s WaterSense label goes further than the standard at 1.28 gallons per flush.
The figure is about construction dates rather than what is bolted to the floor, but in a town this new the two are less likely to have diverged.

What is actually wrong with it
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
