Texas Unemployment Phone Number
To reach Texas's unemployment office by phone, call 800-939-6631. The agency is Texas Workforce Commission (TWC).
Jobareer is not the state. This is the agency's number, from its own website.
Every line, and what it is for
Tele-Center: speak with a customer service representative about your unemployment benefits
Tele-Serv automated line: request payment, check claim status and payment history, 1099-G, PIN, payment options
Benefit Overpayment Collections Unit: how to repay benefits you were not eligible for
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday to Friday
U.S. Bank: your TWC unemployment debit card account
Good to know
The page says online service is generally faster than calling a Tele-Center, and you can submit a Contact Request online to have someone contact you.

Where this comes from
We read these numbers on October 14, 2026, on a page of the agency's own website. Agencies change their lines and hours, so if a number here does not work, check that page. Jobareer is not part of any state agency and cannot see or change your claim.
If your state asks you to look for work each week
If your state asks you to apply for jobs every week and to keep a record of it, our free job application tracker keeps that list: where you applied, when, and what came of it.
