SMS terms

1. What these texts are

ResponseOp sends transactional texts only. We do not send advertising blasts, coupons, or texts to purchased lists. Nobody texts START to join a list.

Texts from this site come from ResponseOp at (737) 265-3219. A shop we set up may send from that shop’s number. How often you hear from us depends on inbound calls and form submissions. Message and data rates may apply.

2. Who we text, and how consent works

• Missed inbound call. Someone calls a ResponseOp number. We ring the owner for about 20 seconds. If the owner does not pick up, we send one confirmation text to the calling number and we notify the owner. We send that receipt because they just placed that call. We do not add the number to a marketing list. We do not text that caller if the owner answers. If we cannot reach the shop phone, we still text the caller that we got the call and email the shop.
• Quote request. A person submits a callback request or the form on See it and checks the box: “Text me that [shop name] received this. Reply STOP to opt out. Message rates may apply.” We then send one confirmation to the phone they entered. Submitting without checking the box still allows email and a callback about that request; it does not authorize a text to them.
• Owner alerts. The shop owner gets texts on the mobile number they gave us: missed-call, new-quote, and lead-path notices. That is their own line, not a consumer marketing list.
• Lead-path map. The Start page does not have a text-me box. The page states: “By sending this, you agree that ResponseOp may email you about this request. If you include a phone number, ResponseOp may follow up about this inquiry by text when SMS is enabled. Message and data rates may apply.” We email about that request. We do not text people who send a map unless that follow-up is on. If it is on, they get one confirmation that ResponseOp received the map, with STOP.

Owner-alert texts may include the caller’s or lead’s phone number so the owner can call back. These texts do not include website links.

3. Example messages

These are the texts we send. Names and numbers change; STOP stays on every text.

Missed-call receipt (caller)

Thanks for calling ResponseOp. We heard you. You're not lost in voicemail. The owner has your number and will call you back. Reply STOP to opt out.

Missed-call alert (owner)

ResponseOp: missed call from (512) 555-0100. Call them back now. Reply STOP to opt out.

Quote confirmation (only if the text-me box was checked)

Thanks Jane Doe. ResponseOp has your request. The owner is on it and will call you. Glad you reached out. Reply STOP to opt out.

New-quote alert (owner)

ResponseOp: new quote from Jane Doe (AC repair). Call (512) 555-0100 now. Reply STOP to opt out.

ResponseOp: new lead path from Jane Doe at Example HVAC. (512) 555-0100. Check email. Reply STOP to opt out.

4. STOP and HELP

5. Federal TCPA

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, and FCC rules restrict many autodialed or prerecorded calls and commercial texts to mobile numbers. The consumer texts described above are informational and tied to a call the person placed or a checked consent box. We do not use these numbers for telemarketing. If we ever send marketing texts, we will collect prior express written consent first. This page is not that consent.

6. Texas telemarketing law

Tex. S.B. 140 (89th Leg., R.S., 2025), effective September 1, 2025, amended Tex. Bus. & Com. Code chs. 302, 304, and 305 so that some “telephone solicitations” include text or graphic messages sent to induce a purchase. A violation of Chapter 304 or 305 is a deceptive act under the DTPA (ch. 17, Subch. E).

The texts in section 2 are not sent to induce a purchase. They confirm a call or form already started, or they notify the owner who hired the loop.

The Texas Secretary of State’s Form Series 3400 FAQ states that a business that sends text messages with the prior consent of the consumer is not required to complete the Telephone Solicitation Registration Statement under Chapter 302. That is published agency guidance following Ecommerce Marketers Alliance v. Texas (W.D. Tex. 2025), not a court ruling on our facts. We still do not send unsolicited sales texts.

If we later send sales or promotional texts to Texas numbers, we will get affirmative consent, honor STOP, respect the Texas No-Call List where it applies, and re-check whether Chapter 302 registration is required.
