AI receptionist for
Houston & Dallas.
Voxgard is an AI receptionist for businesses in Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth. It answers your existing 713, 832, 214 or 817 number in about 0.3 seconds, 24/7, and replies in the caller’s language. According to the Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey, 30.2% of residents aged five and over in the Houston metro and 21.8% in Dallas–Fort Worth speak Spanish at home: about 3.91 million people across the two. Voxgard follows a caller who switches to Spanish mid-sentence, checks the service area, reads the address back, books the visit into Google Calendar and texts the confirmation from your number. When a caller asks for a person, it rings your managers in the order you set. It has no Texas office and nothing to install. Plans start at $249 a month, and the first five days on your real calls are free, no credit card.

Ask us first about Vietnamese (214,000), Telugu (99,000) and Urdu (89,000). They are among the most spoken languages in the Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth metros, but not among the 21 languages with voices in the Voxgard studio, so confirm them before the pilot. If a caller speaks a language your line is not set up for, the operator apologizes in the current language and asks to continue in a supported one; it never answers in the wrong language or goes silent.
What changes for
a Texas business.
The things these metros’ phone lines do differently, and what the operator does about them.
The AC call arrives everywhere at once
When a heat wave hits, the same call, “it’s blowing warm”, reaches every HVAC company in the metro the same afternoon. Standard takes three calls at once and Enterprise has no limit, so the first company to answer is yours.
Hurricane season on the Gulf
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 (NOAA National Hurricane Center). After a storm, roofers and water-damage crews get calls faster than anyone can pick up; each one is answered and captured with the address and photos by text.
Spanish on the same number
2.21 million Spanish speakers in the Houston metro and 1.7 million in Dallas–Fort Worth. No “para español, oprima dos”. Bilingual calls.
Hindi, Arabic and Chinese
About 62,000 Hindi and 57,000 Arabic speakers in Dallas–Fort Worth, and 93,000 Chinese speakers in Houston, all on the same line.
A service area, not a city
Distance is measured from your base locations, so a Katy crew and a Plano crew can each cover their own radius, with travel fees and job minimums from your rates.
Two metros, two scripts
Both metros run on Central Time. Standard includes up to three assistants, so a Houston line and a Dallas line can each keep their own script and service area.

Vietnamese is the most spoken language at home after English and Spanish in both metros: about 127,000 people in Houston and 86,000 in Dallas–Fort Worth. It is not among the 21 languages with voices in the Voxgard studio, so ask us before the pilot. Urdu and Telugu, also widely spoken here, are the same.
