Texas Mobile IPs for Marketers: Check From Houston
Texas is the second-largest state market in the United States and one that marketers abroad consistently underestimate: its own insurance, energy, lending, real-estate and retail landscape, its own prices and offers, and campaigns bought for Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio specifically. A Texas line from Stateside Proxies is a dedicated AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon carrier line in our Houston hardware, used by you alone, that puts your browser inside the Texas audience. This page explains, in plain English, what a Texas address shows a website, why our Texas hardware is in Houston, what teams check from it, and what it costs.
What a Texas address tells a website
That the visitor is on a US mobile carrier, in Texas, on a phone. An IP lookup names the carrier, reads cellular as the connection type, and places the address in Texas; the city field reads Houston most of the time on T-Mobile, Houston or another large Texas city on AT&T, and sometimes Dallas or San Antonio on Verizon, because that is where Verizon's Texas gateway is registered. For ad targeting, state-level checks and tax rules the state is what counts and it is reliable on all three carriers.
Why Houston
Houston is the largest city in Texas, with 4G and 5G from all three carriers and the carriers' Gulf Coast gateways, so an address from our Houston hardware reads as Texas for every state-level purpose and often as Houston itself. We run no hardware in Dallas, Austin or San Antonio; a Houston line covers Texas campaigns and Texas QA, and on Verizon may even read as one of those cities. The clock is Central time, between the two coasts.
What teams check from a Texas line
Ad verification for campaigns bought for Texas metros, seen as a local phone user sees them. Geo QA of US sites and apps for a Texas visitor: dollar prices, the consent notice Texas gets, Texas shipping and tax at checkout. Competitor monitoring of Texas-specific prices and offers in insurance, energy, real estate and retail. Local search results and local packs for Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio queries. Research on public Texas data within each site's terms, on unlimited data.
The line, plainly
One SIM in one device, a USB modem, a router or an Android phone chosen at checkout, used by one customer. HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 with UDP, a VLESS link for a whole device on server-based lines, unlimited data, rotation by link, API, dashboard, timer or button without limit, and an address that holds as long as you want it. 4G up to 25 Mbps download and 5G up to 50 Mbps; eligible 5G lines take the 5G+ add-on for a 70 Mbps+ average. Moves to our other seven metros are free and keep the remaining time. Activation is immediate and a person answers support at any hour.
Carrier, device and clock for Texas work
T-Mobile when the city reading should be Houston; AT&T for a steady, conservative address; Verizon for the strongest consumer reputation where a Texas reading is enough. A modem or router for browser and screenshot work; a phone for app checks. Stock per carrier and device in Houston is shown at checkout at base.statesideproxies.com. Set the browser profile to America/Chicago, Central time with daylight saving, and run checks in Houston daytime so the session looks like a Texan's.
Texas proxy questions
Does a Houston line count as Texas for ad targeting?
Yes. Platforms target by metro or state using carrier gateway locations, and a Houston line reads as Texas on all three carriers and as Houston on T-Mobile.
Can I check Dallas or Austin campaigns from it?
State-targeted ones, yes. City-targeted Dallas or Austin campaigns may or may not serve; Verizon addresses sometimes read as Dallas or San Antonio.
Which time zone should the browser use?
Central time with daylight saving, as observed in Houston: America/Chicago.
What does a Texas line cost?
4G is $5 a day, $27 a week or $65 a month; 5G is $6, $30 or $74. A two-hour look costs $2 on 4G or $3 on 5G.
