Some background on Texas and it’s area codes

Texas, a vast U.S. state with a complex telephone numbering system, initially had a single area code, 214, introduced in 1947. As demand increased, particularly in urban centers like Dallas and Houston, the state experienced numerous splits and overlays. Today, Texas is served by 27 area codes, reflecting its significant growth and diverse telecommunication needs.

The introduction of area code 512 in 1947 marked the beginning of geographic expansion in Texas' telephone numbering. Serving Austin, the state capital, 512 has been subdivided multiple times to accommodate increasing phone line demands, leading to new area codes such as 737 for overlays, which allow multiple area codes to coexist geographically.

Area code 713, one of the oldest in Texas, was established in 1947 for Houston and its surrounding areas. It has undergone several changes to address the growing number of users and technological advancements. The introduction of area codes 281, 832, and 346 as overlays reflects ongoing adjustments within the region's telecommunication infrastructure to support a burgeoning population and evolving business landscape.
