Is the existing line galvanized, copper, pvc or poly?

It looks like the sprinkler branches off BEFORE the main shut off to the house and before the sprinkler flow indicator. That would also explain flow with the house turned off. BUT still the ground is not swampy. Being in Texas means the lines are probably not even buried 1 foot, which should make the ground muddy.
What do you think is going on?

Can you find the Tee where it branches off easily? Have a probing rod?
It would be the most likely spot.
That Tee should be moved to be part of a manifold at the house main shutoff.
