HOUSTON -- New ZIP codes have taken effect in Baytown, Richmond and Sugar Land.
The post office says the ZIP code changes are necessary because of growing demand for mail services.
The changes affect about 40,000 residents and businesses.
Everyone who is affected by the change was notified by mail.
The postal service will give everyone a 12-month transition period. During that time, both the old and new ZIP codes can be used.
