# Complying with Quiet Hours

## Quiet Hours

### 📘 Overview: “Quiet Hours” for Marketing Texts

Most states have laws limiting when **telephone solicitations** can occur.  
In some states (like **Texas**), the law explicitly defines **“telephone calls”** to include **text messages**, especially after legislative updates such as **SB 140**.

Because of this, **quiet-hour restrictions** that originally applied to phone calls are often interpreted to apply to **marketing texts** as well.

---

### 🕐 Texas Example

Under **Texas Business & Commerce Code § 302**, calls (and by extension, texts) to consumers are restricted to:

- **Monday–Saturday:** 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.
- **Sunday:** 12:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

This applies to **marketing or solicitation** messages, not transactional alerts.

---

### ✅ Recommendation

1. **Check your state’s quiet-hour laws** – Each state may have different limits for telemarketing or automated messages.
2. **Adopt a conservative standard:**  
   To ensure compliance nationwide, keep **marketing text messages within 9 a.m.–9 p.m. local time** (or stricter, if required).
3. **Document your policy:**  
   Keep internal guidelines referencing both federal TCPA rules and relevant state quiet-hour provisions.
