Texas Area Codes

29 area codes assigned to Texas · Central Time

Which Texas Area Code Covers Where

6 of Texas's area codes share territory with another. Codes in the same row serve the same places, so either can reach a number there — and ten-digit dialling is required throughout.

How Texas Got Its Area Codes

Texas went from 4 area codes in 1947 to 29 today. A split carves territory off its parent; an overlay sits on top of it, which is why newer codes need ten-digit dialling.

Texas Numbering Structure

Time Zones

Texas spans 2 time zones: Central, Mountain. The zone depends on the area code, not the state.

  • Central Time 210, 214, 254, 281, 325, 346, 361, 409, 430, 432, 469, 512, 621, 682, 713, 726, 737, 806, 817, 830, 832, 903, 936, 940, 945, 956, 972, 979
  • Mountain Time 915

Recent Overlays — Ten-Digit Dialing

Texas has had 17 area codes activated as an overlay since 2021, sharing territory with an existing code rather than carving out new geography. Local calls in an overlaid region must be dialed with all ten digits. Earlier overlays are not listed here.
