Texans can sign up for the state’s no-call lists for free — on the Internet. The Texas Public Utility Commission announced Friday the offer is good for new signups and for renewals. More than 1 million people have registered for the Texas no-call lists since they could begin signing up in January of 2002. The PUC said the no-call list registrations as of Jan. 1 will begin to expire, depending on the enrollment date. Registrations were good for at least three years. Because of administrative costs, Texans who sign up or re-enroll for the lists by phone or mail must still pay a fee. The Web site to register online is www.texasnocall.com.

I will definitely do this. I only have time to talk to people who want me to get my carpet cleaned or my house exterminated or who want to sell me something at MY convenience, not theirs.
