29 area codes assigned to Texas · Central Time
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.
The remaining 12 codes cover their own area: 254, 325, 361, 409, 432, 806, 830, 915, 936, 940, 956, 979.
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 spans 20 LATAs — the regions a call is routed within before it becomes long-haul.

Texas has more than one area code in most regions. Enter a city to see which codes serve it, or check a specific number instead.
Texas spans 2 time zones: Central, Mountain. The zone depends on the area code, not the state.
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.
Texas is served by 29 area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP): 210, 214, 254, 281, 325, 346, 361, 409, 430, 432, 469, 512, 621, 682, 713, 726, 737, 806, 817, 830, 832, 903, 915, 936, 940, 945, 956, 972, 979.
