Toilet Repair in Lewisville, TX
Lewisville is a renting town with newer housing. 49% of households rent, and only 42% of homes were built before 1990.
Short version
Renting is the majority position in Lewisville, at 49% of occupied homes. A fixture in a tenancy is generally the landlord's responsibility to repair, which makes the lease the first document to look at and not the last. With most homes built since 1990, the fixture is probably already a 1.6 gallon one and its age is unlikely to be the fault.

What the age of Lewisville’s housing suggests
Only 42% of housing units in Lewisville were built before 1990, and 30% went up from 2000 onwards. Anything installed new in those homes was built to the 1.6 gallon standard or below it.
That makes an original pre-standard fixture unusual here — though the data dates the house, and a fixture can be older than the room it is in if it came out of somewhere else.

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.
