From the front door landing to the street
The 2020 Census counted 808 housing units in Mart, 657 occupied and 151 vacant. A walk to any of those doors starts at a landing, and the residential code sizes it: at least as wide as the door, at least 36 inches deep and sloped no more than 2 percent, with risers of 7¾ inches or less and treads at least 10 inches deep on any steps down (2015 edition, as quoted).
The ground along the route matters as much. The county soil survey rates Houston Black, Heiden, Slidell, Branyon and Crawford soils "Very limited" for concrete driveways and sidewalks because of high shrink-swell. NRCS ties that rating to poor performance and heavy upkeep unless major reclamation, special design or costly installation gets past it. The ratings are county-wide, so the route's own ground is looked at first.
One published guide notes that replacing a walk can cost more than a first pour, because of the tear-out and disposal plus fixing whatever caused the damage. A walk that has dropped but is otherwise whole may be a case for slab lifting in Mart, and a cracked one crack and spall repair; the town's services page lists the rest.

Questions before a walk is replaced
How soon can people walk on a new sidewalk?
Give it a day: one published guide's minimum is 24 hours before anyone walks on new concrete, within a curing period of about 28 days in all.
Does steel in an old walk raise the cost of tearing it out?
Yes, in one national guide's 2025 figures: reinforced concrete costs $4 to $6 per square foot to remove, unreinforced $2 to $4, with about $4 as the average.
Which edition of the residential code applies in Mart?
We didn't find it; the City of Mart's website has no building-permit page that we could find. Under Texas law, the International Residential Code in its May 1, 2012 form is the residential building code for the state's cities, and a city can amend it locally only by ordinance after a public hearing. The City can say which edition and amendments it enforces.
