Texas mobile and residential proxies on the state's four anchor metros
Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. The densest AT&T footprint in the country and a fast-growing T-Mobile standalone 5G overlay.
Texas is an AT&T state first
Texas is where AT&T was born and where its density is still heaviest. AT&T Internet (AS7018) and AT&T Mobility (AS20057) together cover more of the Texas address space than any single competitor, and most commercial geo-IP databases correctly resolve AT&T Texas allocations to Dallas, Houston, Austin, or San Antonio without ambiguity. That matters for workloads that depend on a stable metro-level geo answer.
T-Mobile has been closing the gap fast — its post-Sprint 2.5 GHz footprint now covers effectively all of the I-35 corridor and the Gulf Coast. Standalone 5G is live in all four top metros plus El Paso. Verizon runs a slightly tighter pool on mobile but its Ultra Wideband deployments around Dallas and Houston carry the lowest RTT we measure in the state.
Texas DMA map
Four of the top 35 Nielsen DMAs sit entirely in Texas:
- Dallas–Fort Worth (DMA #4) — 2.8M+ TV households. Headquarters for AT&T itself, plus a dense retail, telecom, and DTC market.
- Houston (DMA #6) — 2.5M+ households. Energy sector base, major port economy, and a significantly different retail mix from Dallas.
- San Antonio (DMA #31) — 930K+ households. Strong military and tourism sectors.
- Austin (DMA #34) — 880K+ households. Tech corridor, concentrated Shopify merchant base, Dell / Oracle / Tesla presence.
The El Paso DMA (#85) is a separate animal — it bridges into New Mexico culturally and network-wise, and its carrier mix looks more like Albuquerque than Houston. We treat it as part of Texas but flag it on the console.
Where Texas traffic should sit in your stack
Retail drops. The Texas SNKRS and Shopify cohort is large enough that a Texas-only rotation through AT&T Mobility + T-Mobile DFW is viable by itself for drop-day ops. Don't run a national rotation through a Texas-only pool on a national drop — you'll compound the ASN signal against the checkout stack.
Ad-tech measurement. DTC brands spending in Texas (Austin agencies, Houston retail) often run A/B tests that differ by DMA. Capturing both Houston and Dallas rotations tells you more than running the whole state as one bucket.
Energy and B2B pricing. Houston's B2B commerce is meaningfully priced off local signals. Residential Spectrum or AT&T Fiber exits in the 77002/77056 ZIP bands route most cleanly to the targets we've seen.
Texas legal overlay
Texas adopted a state-level privacy framework in 2024 (the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act) that tracks the CCPA shape: applies to businesses processing significant volumes of Texan personal data. If your capture workflow handles PII attributed to Texas residents, treat it as in-scope and contact us for the DPA terms.
Pool and pricing
Texas is the second-deepest state pool after California. The Coast plan covers statewide residential + 5 GB mobile; the Carrier plan opens AT&T ASN pinning across the four major metros. See per-city breakouts: Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

FAQ
Texas ISP FAQ
What carriers power Texas isp proxies?
Texas exits announce from AT&T Mobility (AS20057), T-Mobile (AS21928), Verizon Wireless (AS22394). For isp specifically, the dominant ASNs are AT&T Mobility (AS20057) and T-Mobile (AS21928).Which cities have the deepest Texas pool?
Top metros by pool depth: Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio. Secondary metros are live but with thinner concurrency.Can I pin to a specific ASN inside Texas?
Yes, on the Carrier plan and above. Pass X-PX-Asn with the ASN number (e.g. as20057) and X-PX-State: tx to scope the rotation.What's the sticky session window on Texas isp?
Up to 60 minutes on Texas residential. For longer session persistence, use ISP instead.Any compliance notes specific to Texas?
US work intersects the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the Better Online Ticket Sales (BOTS) Act. We gate hostile retail and any primary ticketing domain behind a documented intent-review, and we require customers to contractually attest that their workflow is not itself a violation of either statute. State-law overlays (CCPA in California, plus the 2024 Texas and Oregon equivalents) apply whenever captured pages carry PII.
