Sounds like you have a bad valve. It would be best to replace the valve, most last a long time, but they do wear out. It is probably a gate valve, they are not that costly and are not difficult to replace. Before you replace the valve, you might want to check the rubber washer and/or seat within the spigot handle. Sometimes the washer will tear and will allow water to flow. Seats also wear in time and won't allow the washer to seal. Washers and seals are "a dime a dozen" and certainly much cheaper to replace than a new valve - also a lots easier to replace. Borrow a home repairs book from the library or do a Google search on Plumbing repairs for detailed info on how to do it.

WHERE ARE THE SHUT-OFF VALVES IN A DALLAS HOME?
Whenever you want to do plumbing repairs in Dallas, whether it is to change a leaky faucet or fix knocking pipes, you need to know how to shut off the main water line, or supply. But, most homeowners do not know where their main shutoff valves are, especially if they have just moved in or are renting a home that is unfamiliar to them. The water meter, which you can usually find in your basement or just outside your home, will have a shutoff valve attached directly to it.
