ABOUT US Texas811 is the link between those planning to dig and the protection of your underground utilities. We are not the utility locators, we notify you of planned excavation and you send out locators to mark the facilities.
Our goal is to help prevent unintended consequences from digging into an underground utility such as injury, damage to property and service outages.
Founded in 1984, the non-profit Texas811 is the largest one-call notification center in the country with more than 2,000 utility members. We process more than 3.5M inbound locate requests and send out more than 19M outbound notifications annually. DigTESS We used to be known as DigTESS (Texas Excavation Safety System). DigTESS is the name we were known by from our inception in 1984 until 2009. The 811 number was created in 2007, and we changed our name to Texas811 in 2009. The DigTESS name was so well known that to this day, we receive calls requesting a ‘DigTESS’. Our DigTESS heritage still lives in our blood. It is in every ticket we process, in our damage prevention programs, and in our customer service. When you want DigTESS quality, you’ll find it at Texas811!
