INTRODUCTION

Texas "No Call Lists"

Texans may register a telephone number with either of the Public Utility Commission-sponsored "No Call Lists" (Statewide "Do Not Call" List or "Electric No Call" List). By placing your name, address, and telephone number on a list, you identify yourself as someone who does not want to receive telemarketing calls, thus limiting telephone solicitations, including text, graphic, and image messages, from all telemarketers operating in Texas.

Statewide "Do Not Call" List

The Statewide "Do Not Call" List is for registering any residential or wireless phone number and applies to any Texas telephone marketer, including Retail Electric Providers (REP) and telemarketers calling on their behalf. Business telephone numbers are NOT eligible for this list. There is no charge for adding phone numbers to this list.

"Electric No Call" List

The "Electric No Call" List is for registering any business phone number and applies to Retail Electric Providers (REP) and telemarketers calling on their behalf. Residential or wireless telephone numbers are NOT eligible for this list but receive protection from REPs or electric calls under the Statewide "Do Not Call" List. There is no charge for adding phone numbers to this list.

WHEN WILL THESE CALLS STOP?

The date of your registration determines the date by which all telemarketing to your number must stop:
 

Date registered Calls stop by
Jan 1 - Mar 31 June 1
Apr 1 - June 30 Sept 1
Jul 1 - Sept 30 Dec 1
Oct 1 - Dec 31 Mar 1

ARE THERE EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULES FOR TELEMARKETERS?

Yes. Telemarketers may contact customers:

  • with whom they have an established business relationship;
  • if the customer requests contact;
  • to collect a debt; or
  • if the telemarketer is a state licensee (for example – insurance or real estate agent, etc.) and:
    1. the call is not made by an automated device;
    2. the solicited transaction is not completed without a face-to-face presentation to complete a sales transaction and make payment;
    3. the consumer has not previously told the licensee that the consumer does not wish to be called.
Telemarketers with questions regarding their compliance obligations should consult with legal counsel.
