GoHighLevel Texas SMS Safeguard One-Toggle Guide

If you use ClickUp to manage tasks and rely on GoHighLevel for communication, you need to understand how the Texas SMS Safeguard one-toggle feature works. This safeguard helps protect your account from sending restricted SMS traffic into Texas under SB-140 while still allowing you to manage messaging safely and efficiently.

This article explains what the Texas SMS Safeguard is, how the single toggle behaves, and how to turn the block on or off inside your GoHighLevel account.

What Is the GoHighLevel Texas SMS Safeguard?

The Texas SMS Safeguard in GoHighLevel is a simple account-level control designed to help you avoid sending SMS messages that may be restricted by Texas SB-140. It acts as a global block that affects SMS traffic sent from your sub-account to recipients in Texas.

Instead of complicated settings, GoHighLevel provides one clear toggle so you can quickly switch Texas SMS sending on or off for your locations.

How the GoHighLevel One-Toggle Block Works

The safeguard is implemented as a single block toggle that applies across the sub-account. The toggle state controls whether SMS to Texas numbers is allowed or blocked.

Key behaviors of the GoHighLevel Texas SMS toggle

  • The toggle is set per sub-account, not per user.
  • When the block is ON, new SMS messages to Texas recipients are stopped.
  • When the block is OFF, SMS can be sent, subject to carrier and legal rules.
  • The safeguard does not remove existing records; it only affects new SMS sends.

This one-toggle design keeps GoHighLevel configuration simple while giving you clear control over Texas-targeted SMS.

Why GoHighLevel Added the Texas SMS Safeguard

Texas SB-140 introduces specific rules for SMS messaging into Texas. The safeguard helps you reduce the risk of non-compliant traffic by:

  • Allowing an easy global block for Texas SMS traffic.
  • Reducing accidental sends to Texas when you are not ready to comply.
  • Making it obvious whether Texas SMS is currently allowed.

Because this is an account-level setting, GoHighLevel ensures the same protection applies to all team members using that sub-account.

How to Access the GoHighLevel Texas SMS Safeguard

The exact menu labels and navigation may vary slightly by product updates, but the safeguard is available in the sub-account settings related to SMS or compliance. Use these general steps as a reference when locating the toggle.

Step 1: Log in to GoHighLevel

  1. Open your browser and sign in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Select the appropriate sub-account where you manage Texas contacts.

Step 2: Open settings for messaging or compliance

  1. From the left navigation, go to your Settings area.
  2. Look for a section related to SMS, Phone Numbers, or Compliance.
  3. Open the page where messaging rules or carrier compliance options are displayed.

The Texas SMS Safeguard toggle will appear with a clear label indicating that it relates to Texas SB-140 or restricted SMS traffic into Texas.

How to Turn the GoHighLevel Texas SMS Block ON

Turn the block on when you want to stop sending new SMS traffic to Texas recipients while still using GoHighLevel for other states and channels.

Enable the Texas SMS Safeguard

  1. Locate the Texas SMS Safeguard or similar Texas-related toggle in your settings.
  2. Switch the toggle to the ON position to activate the block.
  3. Confirm any warning or confirmation dialog, if prompted.

Once enabled, GoHighLevel will block new SMS messages targeted to Texas numbers according to the safeguard rules. Other states and compliant SMS traffic outside Texas will not be impacted by this specific toggle.

What happens after you enable the block

  • New outbound SMS attempts to Texas will be restricted.
  • Your campaigns and workflows may still run but will not send SMS to Texas phone numbers.
  • You should review your automations and contact lists to avoid unnecessary attempts to message blocked Texas numbers.

How to Turn the GoHighLevel Texas SMS Block OFF

Disable the block only when you are ready to send SMS to Texas in a compliant manner and understand applicable legal requirements.

Disable the Texas SMS Safeguard

  1. Go back to the Texas SMS Safeguard toggle in your GoHighLevel settings.
  2. Switch the toggle to the OFF position.
  3. Review any prompts that remind you about responsibility for compliance.

When the toggle is off, GoHighLevel will no longer automatically block Texas SMS traffic. Your account will send messages according to your workflows, campaigns, and carrier rules.

What to check after disabling the block

  • Verify that your campaigns targeting Texas are compliant with SB-140.
  • Review consent, opt-in, and opt-out practices for Texas numbers.
  • Monitor deliverability and any carrier feedback related to Texas traffic.

Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel with Texas SMS

To use GoHighLevel safely with Texas recipients, pair the safeguard with internal processes that support compliance.

  • Maintain clear opt-in records for Texas contacts.
  • Segment lists so Texas numbers can be paused quickly if needed.
  • Review workflows that trigger SMS for Texas leads or customers.
  • Train your team on the purpose and function of the Texas SMS Safeguard toggle.

Using this toggle as part of a broader strategy will help you manage risk while continuing to benefit from GoHighLevel automation.
