Signing up for the Texas811 Portal is quick and easy. You can follow these steps to create your account and start submitting locate requests.


Important Account Information

  • Accounts are for individual use only, not for company-wide access.

  • Each team member needing to submit locate requests should create their own account with a unique login.

  • Both the username and caller's name are tied together and cannot be changed after registration.

  • The login email address must be an active and regularly used email. Any communication from 811 regarding potential discrepancies on a ticket will be sent to this email.

  • You must create a new account if you need to update your sign-up email or it is no longer active.

💡 Pro Tip:

To have all locate request communications sent to a centralized email, list the caller and/or contact email as a shared address so all one calls and responses are directed to the same inbox.


Steps to Sign Up

1. Go to the Portal

On the portal homepage, click Sign Up in the top right corner.

2. Fill Out the Sign-Up Form

Enter the following details:

  • Email – Use a company email, if possible, or a personal email (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.). The email must contain some variation of your first and/or last name.
