Toilet Repair in Keller, TX
Newer housing and mixed tenure: 14% of homes in Keller were built before 1990, and 26% of households rent.
Short version
Tenure in Keller is close to even, at 74% owner-occupied and 26% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

What the age of Keller’s housing suggests
Only 14% of housing units in Keller were built before 1990. In a town like this the interesting question is not how much water the fixture uses but why a relatively new one is misbehaving.
Usually the answer is the flapper or the fill valve, both of which wear on a schedule of their own regardless of how new the house is.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
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.
