In depth
Texas call recording law — a complete guide
What the rule is, the nuance behind it, the penalties, and how to record compliantly in Texas.
The rule in Texas
Texas is a one-party consent state — a party to the conversation may record it without notifying the others.
In practice, that makes Texas a one-party consent jurisdiction for the purpose of recording business calls. The safest approach is a clear disclosure at the very start of every call, before any substantive conversation begins.
Statute and penalties
The governing law is Texas Penal Code §16.02 / Civil Practice & Remedies Code §123.001 et seq.. Civil exposure: Statutory and actual damages, plus attorney's fees, under Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code ch. 123. Criminal exposure: Unlawful interception is generally a second-degree felony.
Disclose recording consistently and you keep yourself on the right side of Texas Penal Code §16.02 / Civil Practice & Remedies Code §123.001 et seq..
Cross-border calls
If you record a call between someone in Texas and someone in another jurisdiction, the safe rule is that the stricter law governs. The generator on this page applies that automatically — add the other party's location and it rebuilds the disclosure around whichever jurisdiction is stricter.
Best practices for recording in Texas
Disclose early and clearly, state the purpose of the recording, identify your business by name, and keep recordings only as long as you need them. Apply the same disclosure on every call so consent is consistent and defensible. When anything is high-stakes or ambiguous, have a qualified attorney review your disclosure.
