Do Not Call protection in Texas
Texas is one of the states that maintains its own Do Not Call registry alongside the federal National Do Not Call Registry, so telemarketers calling Texas numbers are expected to check both lists. Registering on the federal list at donotcall.gov is free and never expires; the state list is administered separately and may have its own registration process and renewal period.
Whatever your state does, the federal National Do Not Call Registry applies, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act gives you a private right of action against certain unlawful calls. Report unwanted calls at the FCC complaint centre and fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Where do the calls reported in Texas come from?
The FCC records the state the person filing the complaint was in, not where the caller was. Because caller ID is easily spoofed, a call reported in Texas may have been placed from anywhere in the world and may have displayed a Texas number that belongs to an uninvolved person. Area code alone tells you nothing reliable about a caller's location.
What kind of calls are reported most in Texas?
Prerecorded Voice is the most-reported category in Texas, accounting for 33,388 of the 75,769 complaints (44%). Live Voice is second with 25,226.
