Stay Compliant with Texas SMS Rules Easily

Sending marketing messages to customers in Texas just got simpler and safer. With a simple setting, you can prevent promotional SMS or MMS from being sent to Texas phone numbers or from Texas area codes—helping you stay compliant with new Texas laws without any extra work.

📌 Why This Matters

Texas recently introduced a law that restricts marketing texts to recipients in the state. For small business owners, accidentally sending promotional messages could result in legal trouble or fines. This feature helps you automatically block marketing SMS and MMS to Texas contacts, reducing risk while letting you continue important messages without interruptions.

✨ What’s New

• Automatic Blocking: Promotional SMS/MMS messages sent to Texas numbers or from Texas area-code numbers are blocked with no extra setup.
• Works Everywhere: The block applies across your automated workflows, bulk messaging, and other communication tools.
• Only Marketing Messages Affected: Personal, one-to-one conversations and essential notifications like appointment reminders or order updates are still allowed.

🛠️ How to Use It

1. Step 1: Go to your phone number settings in your CRM or marketing platform.
2. Step 2: Find the SMS compliance or messaging settings section.
3. Step 3: Turn on the toggle labeled for Texas SMS safeguarding or similar.
4. Step 4: Make sure your contacts have accurate location info to ensure proper blocking.

💡 Pro Tip

Keeping your contact information updated ensures your business stays compliant while maintaining strong customer communication, protecting revenue and reputation.
