Expert Opinion
Recent call logs show the 833‑753‑0909 number is widely reported as the Texas Department of State Health Services’ contact‑tracing line. Callers describe a mixture of legitimate outreach about COVID‑19 exposure and occasional complaints of rude or vague agents. Because the number can be spoofed, recipients should verify the caller’s identity before sharing personal data such as name, birthdate, or address. Hang up if the agent cannot provide a verifiable name or official reference, and call the official DSHS number listed on the state website. Keep a record of the call time and any reference number, and report suspicious behavior to the Texas Attorney General’s consumer protection division.
