Dialing 2-1-1 is a free, easy way to find out about services you can get in your area or through state programs.

If you can't connect to 2-1-1, call us toll-free at 877-541-7905. You can also visit the 2-1-1 Texas website to find the phone number to your local 2-1-1 area information center.

You may not be able to connect to 2-1-1 if:

• You are calling from outside of Texas.
• Your cell phone won't dial 2-1-1.
• You use voice-over-IP (use the Internet to make calls).

The 2-1-1 Texas language line allows Texans with a limited understanding of English to apply for benefits with the support of an interpreter in over 150 languages.

If the caller presses 0, they can choose from languages such as Vietnamese, Farsi, Somali, Arabic, Mandarin or French. They can also ask a live agent for an interpreter for other languages.

The interpreter will be conferenced in to convert information from English to the caller’s chosen language throughout the application process.
