How to Contact a Texas Senator

1. Call the Washington, D.C. Office

Calling is the most effective way to make your voice heard. Senate offices track call volume by issue, and a high volume of calls on a specific topic directly influences a senator’s staff. Call during business hours (9 a.m.–5 p.m. ET, Monday–Friday) for the fastest response.

• John Cornyn: (202) 224-2934
• Ted Cruz: (202) 224-5922

2. Use the Online Contact Form

Each senator maintains an official contact form on their Senate website. These forms are monitored by constituent services staff and are the preferred channel for detailed written messages.

• John Cornyn: cornyn.senate.gov/share-opinion/
• Ted Cruz: cruz.senate.gov/contact/write-ted

3. Write a Letter

Written letters carry significant weight, particularly on legislative issues. Address your letter to the senator’s Washington, D.C. office. All mail to Senate offices passes through a security screening facility, which may add several days to delivery time.

• Senator John Cornyn, 517 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20510
• Senator Ted Cruz, 127A Russell Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20510

4. Visit a State Office

Both senators maintain district offices across Texas. State offices handle casework — including issues with federal agencies such as the Social Security Administration, Veterans Affairs, and immigration services. Visit each senator’s official website for a full list of Texas office locations and hours.

• John Cornyn Texas office locations
• Ted Cruz Texas office locations
