The Houston area is running out of telephone numbers and will soon add a fifth area code to accommodate its growing population.
"Houston-and all of Texas continues to grow because our state offers freedom and opportunity that cannot be found anywhere else in the world," said Gov. Greg Abbott ."This new phone area code is a testament to the economic strength and quality of life in the greater Houston area. I thank the Public Utility Commission for taking this critical step to improve telephone infrastructure to meet the demands of our growing state.
In March 2020, the PUCT announced the Dallas area would be adding area code 945 with numbers in area codes 214, 469 and 972 expected to be exhausted in early 2021. Area code 945 was expected to meet numbering needs in Dallas for 13 years, until 2034.The Houston area's first area code, 713, was created in 1947 as one of the original four numbering plan areas assigned to Texas, the PUCT said.
