Coverage

Where does the 713 area code apply?

The 713 area code covers Houston and the Greater Houston metro area, spanning Harris County and parts of Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Liberty, Montgomery and Waller counties. It is one of the four original Texas area codes from the 1947 North American Numbering Plan, alongside 214, 512 and 915.

Suburban growth led to the 281 split in 1996, then the boundary between 713 and 281 was erased in 1998 as 832 arrived as a full overlay across the combined area; 346 and 621 were added later on that same territory. A 713 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony keeps that original Houston identity local for your customers, wherever your team actually works from.
