Toilet Repair in Caldwell, TX
Caldwell has a mixed-age housing stock, 46% of it built before 1990, in a town where 83% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
In Caldwell, 83% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. At 46% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Caldwell’s housing suggests
Roughly 46% of housing here predates 1990 and 34% was built from 2000 onwards, so Caldwell has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

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.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
