Texas "Do Not Call" List
You now have the opportunity to add your name, address and
telephone number to the "No Call List." By placing your name, address and telephone number
on this list, you identify yourself as a consumer who does not wish to receive telemarketing
calls. This "No Call List" will be maintained by the Public Utility Commission of Texas

telemarketers operating in Texas.
