Texas811 Committed to protecting billions of dollars of underground utilities & the people around them by not

Founded in 1984, the non-profit Texas811 is the largest one-call notification center in the country. We protect billions of dollars of underground utilities and the people who live and work around them. Texas811 is the link between those intending to dig and our member utility companies. We notify utility companies that are registered with Texas811 of the planned excavation and they send locators to mark their underground utility lines. These markings represent the approximate location of the underground utility lines. Our mission is to facilitate damage prevention, promote public safety and protect the environment through stakeholder education and communication.

Fall is here, and we’re digging into information worth knowing before your next project.

You don’t have to be home when utility locators arrive, but pets should be safely contained. Even if a pet is friendly, a locator may not enter the yard. Save this for later or share it with someone who could use the reminder.

Getting a response is only part of the process. A Positive Response tells you the status of underground utilities near your project.

Before digging, make sure your responses, ticket information and work area all line up. If something is missing or unclear, check the Texas811 Portal to understand what comes next.

811 Day is more than a date on the calendar. It's a reminder that homeowners, contractors, landscapers, utility crews, and everyone in between all have something in common. Every digging project starts with contacting 811 before you dig. Today and every day, make 811 your first step. Happy 811 Day!

Busy season doesn't leave room for shortcuts. As projects ramp up, taking time to contact Texas811 before every excavation helps keep projects on schedule and underground utilities where they belong.
