The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has issued a warning about ongoing phone scams targeting residents. Scammers are impersonating TDLR officials, claiming individuals owe money or need to verify personal information, often threatening legal action if demands are not met. Authorities emphasize that TDLR does not make unsolicited calls requesting payments or personal details. Consumers are advised to remain cautious and avoid sharing sensitive information over the phone. If contacted by someone claiming to be from TDLR and suspecting a scam, individuals should hang up and verify the caller's identity through official TDLR contact channels. The department encourages reporting any suspicious calls to local authorities to help prevent further scams.
