See the local calling rules, industries and hours." url: https://assistbpo.com/locations/us/texas/ updated: 2026-09-20 publisher: AssistBPO (SS Support Network LLC) language: en-US --- # Virtual assistant services Texas, in local hours ## What do Texas businesses use a virtual assistant for? Texas runs on Central Time, apart from El Paso and Hudspeth County on Mountain Time, so a Texas front desk usually needs coverage from 7am until the last service truck is back around 7pm. The business mix is wide: energy and the medical corridor in Houston, insurance and finance in Dallas, software in Austin, military and hospitality in San Antonio, and a home services sector that runs flat out from May to September when air conditioning fails across the state. Buyers here tend to ask for three things. First, someone who answers in the company name within a few rings while the owner is on a job site. Second, a Spanish-speaking option, because a large share of callers in Houston, San Antonio and the Valley prefer it (available on request). Third, help with the paperwork that piles up in fast-growing markets: listing coordination, permit follow-ups, insurance certificates and patient recalls. We cover all of that from remote desks working Texas hours.

Staffed from the group's two offices. ## Which hours does a virtual assistant in Texas cover? AssistBPO staffs Texas hours from the group's offices. There is no local office here. --:-- right now in Texas Central Time - **Central Time (Texas)**The Texas day desk runs 7am to 7pm Central, which means a Houston dispatcher and an Austin founder both have a live person from before the first crew rolls out until evening estimates are booked. - **After-hours desk**From 7pm to 7am Central, plus weekends, calls route to the after-hours desk. Emergency plumbing, weekend property showings and patient callbacks get answered instead of hitting voicemail. - **Second office in Pakistan**Our second office in Pakistan is 10 to 11 hours ahead of Central Time, so its daytime team staffs the Texas overnight and the Australian Eastern shift that some multi-market clients request.

AssistBPO makes outbound calls, texts and emails in Texas only with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing. The 3 rules below are the ones that decide what that means locally. - ### Texas No Call List and Chapter 304 Texas keeps its own do-not-call list under Business and Commerce Code Chapter 304, run by the Public Utility Commission of Texas, and telephone solicitors must register with the Texas Secretary of State under Chapter 302 unless exempt. Outbound work from our desks runs with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing against both the Texas list and the federal registry. - ### Calling hours under Texas law Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 301 limits solicitation calls to 9am to 9pm Monday through Saturday and noon to 9pm on Sunday, tighter than the federal 8am to 9pm window. Our scripts and dialer schedules follow the narrower state rule, and Chapter 305 gives Texans a private right of action for TCPA breaches, so consent records matter. - ### One-party recording Texas Penal Code 16.02 makes Texas a one-party consent state, so a call can be recorded when one participant agrees. We still play a recording notice on inbound lines because many Texas businesses talk to callers in California, Florida and Washington, where all parties must consent. Not legal advice; see the [compliance page](https://assistbpo.com/compliance/). ## Which industries do we serve in Texas? AssistBPO staffs desks across 6 sectors of the Texas economy, and each one asks a desk to do something different. - ### [HVAC, plumbing and electrical](https://assistbpo.com/industries/trades-home-services/) Texas summers turn a missed call into a lost repair. A remote CSR books the job in ServiceTitan while the tech stays on the roof. - ### [Real estate teams](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/) Dallas, Austin and Houston teams use remote ISAs and transaction coordinators to keep listings, showings and closings moving. - ### [Medical and dental practices](https://assistbpo.com/industries/medical-practices/) Recalls, eligibility checks and prior authorizations for practices across the state, handled by HIPAA-trained staff under a BAA. - ### [Freight and logistics](https://assistbpo.com/industries/transportation-logistics/) Brokers and carriers along I-35 and I-10 need dispatch support and check calls that run well past a normal office day. - ### [Insurance agencies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/insurance/) Independent agencies in the state handle a heavy renewal and certificate workload; remote policy servicing takes it off the producer's plate. - ### [Construction](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/) Bid follow-ups, submittals and sub communication for builders and GCs riding the Texas construction boom. ## Tools Texas businesses ask us to work in - [ServiceTitan](https://assistbpo.com/software/servicetitan/) - [Follow Up Boss](https://assistbpo.com/software/follow-up-boss/) - [RingCentral](https://assistbpo.com/software/ringcentral/) - [Dentrix](https://assistbpo.com/software/dentrix/) - [HubSpot](https://assistbpo.com/software/hubspot/) - [QuickBooks Online](https://assistbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## Services for Texas - [Dedicated virtual assistant services for the work that eats your day](https://assistbpo.com/services/virtual-assistant/) - [A receptionist who knows your business, not a call queue](https://assistbpo.com/services/virtual-receptionist/) - [Every call answered by a person who knows your name](https://assistbpo.com/services/phone-answering/) - [Bookings, reminders and reschedules, handled](https://assistbpo.com/services/appointment-scheduling/) - [Tickets resolved by agents who learn your product](https://assistbpo.com/services/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [Inbox to zero, every day](https://assistbpo.com/services/email-management/) - [Meetings booked on your calendar, compliantly](https://assistbpo.com/services/appointment-setting/) - [Accurate data, on time, every day](https://assistbpo.com/services/data-entry/) - [Evenings, weekends and holidays covered](https://assistbpo.com/services/after-hours-answering/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you have an office in Texas? No. AssistBPO has no office in Texas. Our assistants are employed staff of SS Support Network LLC, which is registered in Vancouver, Washington, with a second office in Pakistan. Your Texas assistant works Central Time hours from one of those offices on a managed device, logs into your phone system and CRM, and answers in your company name. Nothing is stored locally and there is no walk-in location. ### How much does a virtual assistant cost for a Texas business? Plans depend on hours, desks and coverage. Get a staffing plan within 1 business day. Tell us how many hours a week, which desk (front desk, admin, support, sales or back office), and whether you need evenings, weekends or a Spanish speaker. For context, third-party roundups put a US in-house executive assistant at $4,700 to $9,100 a month loaded (PayScale and Indeed figures via Wishup, 2026). ### Can your assistants call Texas leads? Yes, for lead follow-up and appointment setting with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing. Texas has its own no-call list and its own registration rules for telephone solicitors, and calling hours under state law are narrower than the federal window. We build the scrub and the schedule into the dialer before the first call, and we log consent so you can show it if a Texas resident asks. ### Do you offer Spanish-speaking assistants for Texas? Bilingual English and Spanish coverage is available on request, and it is one of the most common asks from Houston, San Antonio and Rio Grande Valley clients. Tell us on the discovery call which lines need it and we match accordingly. The assistant answers in whichever language the caller opens with, and notes in your CRM are written in English unless you prefer otherwise. ### How fast can a Texas company get started? Discovery call first, then a named assistant proposed within 72 hours. Onboarding covers your phone tree, scripts, calendar rules and software logins, usually inside the first week. From day one you get a start-of-day check-in and an end-of-day report listing what was handled, what is waiting on you and tomorrow's plan. A backup assistant shadows the first weeks so coverage never depends on one person. ## Nearby and wider - [Houston](https://assistbpo.com/locations/us/houston/) - [Dallas](https://assistbpo.com/locations/us/dallas/) - [Austin](https://assistbpo.com/locations/us/austin/) - [San Antonio](https://assistbpo.com/locations/us/san-antonio/) - [Fort Worth](https://assistbpo.com/locations/us/fort-worth/) - [All locations](https://assistbpo.com/locations/) Next step ## Your desk, staffed.
