They employed 11,449 people in mid-March and reported $499.1 million in annual payroll. That is the 3rd highest count among the 51 states and DC with published figures. Chiropractic offices make up 0.39% of the 670,878 business establishments in the state.

Where chiropractic offices in Texas are concentrated

Census published chiropractic office counts for 45 metro or micropolitan areas that include part of Texas. The largest is Dallas, TX, with 924 establishments. Single-state metro and micropolitan areas account for 95% of the statewide total; the rest are outside any published area or in areas Census suppressed.

Team sizes at chiropractic offices in Texas

70.2% of Texas's chiropractic offices with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 72.5% nationally. 92.0% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.

Why the phone matters for chiropractic offices in Texas

Chiropractic care usually involves a series of visits, so much of the phone traffic is booking, moving and confirming recurring appointments. A small team that is busy treating patients needs calls answered or captured without interrupting adjustments. That holds for chiropractic offices in Texas as much as anywhere.

Typical inbound and outbound calls for chiropractic offices in Texas:

• A regular patient calls to move a standing appointment.
• A new patient with back pain calls to ask about the first visit.
• An insurer calls to verify a treatment record.

Texting patients

Text reminders for recurring visits and quick reschedule exchanges suit the repeat-visit rhythm of a chiropractic practice.

Texting from a local number in Texas requires carrier registration (10DLC), a one-time $49 fee on Callata.

What a phone system costs a chiropractic office in Texas

Chiropractic offices in Texas average 4.4 employees, so the comparison uses a 4-person team. Per-seat business phone plans bill every one of those people. At month-to-month list prices checked September 28, 2026, 4 users on RingCentral RingEX Core cost $120.00 a month and 4 on Ooma Office Pro cost $99.80. Callata comes to $99.00 a month for 4 users ($99 a month with 5 users included, then $20 per additional user), below both.

Over a year, that is $252 less than RingCentral for a chiropractic office in Texas of that size. Annual contracts lower some competitors' prices, so compare the plan you would actually sign.

Area codes in Texas

Texas has 29 geographic area codes in service according to NANPA. Callata includes up to 3 local numbers, so a chiropractic office can hold a number in more than one of them.

How Callata works for chiropractic offices in Texas

For $99 a month, Callata puts a team of up to 5 on one plan ($20 for each person after that): up to 3 local numbers, unlimited inbound calls, a pooled allowance of 1,500 outbound US and Canada minutes per user, browser and cell calling, voicemail transcription with urgency triage, recorded calls with AI summaries and business-hours routing, with E911 on every number.

Porting a number you already use in Texas is free, and business texting is available once the carrier registration (10DLC) is approved; the registration carries a one-time $49 fee. Which specific numbers are open in a given area code depends on carrier inventory at the time you sign up.

AI agents are optional: an AI receptionist or scheduler can pick up when the team is busy or closed, take a message, send a text or email, or transfer the call. They draw on prepaid AI minutes ($0.25/minute), disclose that they are AI, and outbound AI calls require prior consent and are limited to 8am–9pm.

Practices that handle protected health information should review their own privacy obligations before recording calls, enabling AI summaries or texting appointment details, and keep clinical conversations out of text messages unless their policies allow it.
