Escobar I is a small place in Starr County, Texas, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a settlement that doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.

It used to be a census-designated place (CDP). A CDP is an area that the U.S. Census Bureau defines for gathering population data. It's not an official city, but it helps count people in specific areas.
