Toilet Repair in Irving, TX
Renting is the norm in Irving at 61% of households, and about 59% of the housing here was built before 1990.
Short version
61% of occupied homes in Irving are rented, so for most households the toilet is the landlord's fixture rather than the tenant's. Reporting it is normally the tenant's step, and arranging the repair is normally not. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 59% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Irving’s housing suggests
Roughly 59% of housing here predates 1990 and 26% was built from 2000 onwards, so Irving 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.
