Street Name is the name of the street the property record is located on.  When used in conjunction with the street number if the exact record is not found all records matching the street name information listed with be displayed on the possible candidates screen.

 

Street names are typically entered from the appraisal district annual transfers.  The street types (TRL, RD, BLVD) may not have be created consistently.  It is best to check many different variables or a more general search (ELK MOUNTAIN as opposed to ELK MOUNTAIN TRL) to find the records desired.
