Which Novice, TX? There are two. One is about 35 miles south of Abilene in Coleman County, kinda where central TX meets the panhandle. The other is about 120 miles northeast of Dallas in Lamar County on the Oklahoma border.
There appears to be a 2nd street in the Novice near Abilene, with ZIP code 795xx. You can find info on your property and others in the County Assessor's data, which is searchable at
www.txcountydata.com . I did find a single owner of two properties on 2nd Street, with a third property owner with the same last name.

Moderator cut: link removed says Novice has median household income of about 70% of the national average, elevation 1988 ft (that's high for TX), and Y2K population of 142.
There's a brief Wikipedia article as well.
My gut feel and a reading of the map says that Novice is out in the middle of BFE with not much going for it unless you count a 35-mile commute to Abilene, which is a dubious benefit.
On the other hand, if you happen to have secured mineral rights with your lots, you might be in luck.
