Is there a way to check electricity usage (daily) online for StarTex; I am trying to get this information from StarTex and it might take a while and thought of checking if anyone knows a way to get this information online.
Thanks.
Matt

If you have a smart meter there might be a website you can visit. If you don't have a smart meter then all you can do it go out and read the meter yourself.

If you have a smart meter:

https://www.smartmetertexas.com/CAP/..._overview.html

The site is provided by oncor, not startex. Oncor is the company that manages the grid/meters.

I use the Smart Meter link daily, importing an excel file of my usage from two days before. I can see where my dryer runs, the AC cycles and even turned off my TV to see the drop in elec use.

The electric meter on your house. If it reads digitally then it's a SmartMeter. If it's the old kind with several clock like faces then it is NOT a SmartMeter.

Or, you can go to the SmartMeter website and try to enroll. You'll need a recent bill that shows your ESI ID.
