Texas filed over 170,000 Do Not Call complaints with the FTC, ranking it second in the country. In 214 and 469 Dallas, callers frequently pose as IRS or Social Security agents threatening arrest.

Our Texas reverse phone lookup can help you determine whether that caller is a real process server or just someone trying to scare you into paying.

Important: Area codes are no longer reliable indicators of a caller's location. Number portability allows users to keep their numbers when they move, and scammers frequently use "neighbor spoofing" to make long-distance or fraudulent calls appear local.

Texans are inundated with SSA/IRS threats, Car Warranty calls, and Fake Process Server scams. In 2024, Texas residents reported 162,101 fraud cases resulting in total losses of $897,890,888, with a median loss of $500 per victim. To help authorities track these criminals, you should report any fraudulent calls to:
In 2024, Texas residents filed 170,483 unwanted call complaints with the FTC, of which 91,857 were robocalls and 62,262 involved live callers. The most reported complaint topics were medical and prescriptions (17,061), imposters (13,964), reducing debt (11,621). One of the most effective ways to lower the volume of these calls is through the National Do Not Call Registry. Visit donotcall.gov or call 1-888-382-1222 to protect your number.
Texas residents and businesses can stop most unwanted telemarketing calls by registering with the state's "No Call Lists" through the Public Utility Commission-sponsored system at www.texasnocall.com. Texas offers two separate lists: the Statewide "Do Not Call" List for residential and wireless numbers, and the "Electric No Call" List specifically for business numbers targeting electric provider solicitations.
Registration is free and easy through the online portal available 24/7. The timing of when calls stop depends on your registration date - if you register between January-March, calls must stop by June 1st; April-June registration stops calls by September 1st; July-September stops calls by December 1st; and October-December registration stops calls by March 1st of the following year.
The state law includes standard exemptions for calls from businesses with established relationships, debt collection calls, calls you've requested, and calls from state licensees (like insurance or real estate agents) under specific conditions. Charity and political calls may also be exempt from these restrictions.
If telemarketers continue calling after the required waiting period, you can file complaints online at the Public Utility Commission's complaint portal or call 1-888-782-8477. This gives Texas residents robust local enforcement options alongside federal protections, helping identify which unknown calls may be violations worth reporting to state authorities.
Yes, reverse phone lookup is legal in Texas for personal use, such as identifying unknown callers, verifying contacts, or screening potential scams. However, you cannot use lookup results for employment screening, tenant decisions, credit eligibility, or any purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), you can request deletion of your phone number and personal details. Visit each reverse lookup site and click "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" to submit a request.
A reverse phone lookup can provide a business name, but that alone does not confirm legitimacy. While Texas has over 657,362 business establishments based on Census data, you should verify the company by searching for it in the Texas Taxable Entity Search.
About 34.2 million as of mid-2024. Texas also has 4.7 million VoIP subscriptions and under a million landlines. The size of the mobile pool means area codes reveal almost nothing about where someone actually lives. A 512 number could belong to someone in Dallas who moved from Austin years ago.
