Texas Reverse Phone Lookup

Reverse Phone Lookup by Texas Area Code

Houston 's 713/281/832/346, Dallas 's 214/469/972, Austin 's 512/737, San Antonio 's 210/726. Texas operates dozens of area codes across its vast territory. The table below lists them all, but overlays render codes nearly meaningless. Look it up to get straightforward owner identification.

Important: Area codes do not guarantee the caller's current location. Texas allows number portability, and scammers often use "neighbor spoofing" to make calls appear local.

FAQs

How to opt out of phone number lookup websites in Texas?

How do I know if a Texas business phone number is legit?

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.

How many cell phone numbers does Texas have?

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.
