By Christina B. Farnsworth. Do states “do-not-call” laws limit real estate marketing? Not in Texas, one of the 20 with “do-not-call” lists.

Had Realtors been forced to comply they would have been vulnerable to steep fines and extra work cross checking telephone numbers. They also would have had to pay $500 a year to receive monthly updated lists of consumers requesting that telemarketers not call.
