The Texas car dealer database,the biggest rooftop table we hold
1,871 Texas dealership rooftops - more than any other state we cover - with franchise mix, live inventory, headcounts and tenure on every record. Rank them by size, cut them to the brands that matter, and unlock 25,000 in a single order if you need to.
What is the Texas car dealer database?
The Texas car dealer database holds 1,871 dealership rooftops, the largest single-state count in our coverage. Texas is where rooftop data gets used for volume work: territory splits across four metro clusters, commercial and fleet-adjacent offers that only fit stores above a certain size, and supplier programs that need every point in a brand's Texas network. Chevrolet leads the franchise mix here, which tracks with a market where full-size trucks carry the floor. Each record gives you the franchise list, live inventory count, employee and decision-maker counts, founded year and years in business, a primary number plus main, sales, service and parts lines, social profiles, and the website provider, product and martech signals on the store's site. A single order can carry up to 25,000 rooftops, so a statewide pull does not need splitting.
Franchised and independent in one table
TADA represents more than 1,400 franchised dealerships across roughly 290 Texas communities. Our 1,871 is larger because the independent lots sit in the same table on the same columns - and the franchise filter is what separates the two segments when your offer only fits one of them.
Size is the qualifier in a truck market
Chevrolet tops the Texas franchise mix, and the stores that move commercial volume are usually the ones with the deepest lots and the biggest payrolls. Rank the state by live inventory count, then apply an employee-count floor, and you have the shortlist of rooftops likely to run a dedicated commercial operation.
Four metros and a border market
Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin behave as separate markets, and the Rio Grande Valley behaves as a fifth. City and ZIP filters cut the state to the patch one rep actually drives, instead of buying Texas and sorting it in a spreadsheet afterwards.
Volume without a volume contract
Scale is $999/month for 5,000 credits, which is 5,000 rooftops, and unused credits roll forward. Nothing is charged while you filter or preview, so a statewide count costs nothing to check.

Compliance & sourcing
Texas has layered its own privacy and data-broker rules on top of the federal baseline, and the trend across states runs toward more disclosure and faster handling of requests. Those regimes are built around personal information, which a rooftop record does not contain - no staff names, no individual emails, no direct dials, only two headcount integers. The obligations that do reach you are ours to state plainly: the records are licensed for use inside your own business, may not be resold or redistributed as data, and the credit-back remedy in the terms is the remedy for a record that turns out to be wrong.

Frequently asked questions
How many Texas dealership rooftops are covered?
1,871, which is the highest rooftop count of any state in our data. It includes both franchised stores and independent lots. For context on the franchise half, the Texas Automobile Dealers Association represents more than 1,400 franchised dealerships across roughly 290 communities, a figure that excludes independents by definition.
Does a Texas record show whether a store has a fleet or commercial department?
Not directly. Dealers carries no department-level staffing - total employee count and decision-maker count are whole-store integers, and there is no commercial-department flag. What buyers do instead is filter on the franchises that carry work trucks and set a floor on inventory and employee count. If you need the named fleet manager or commercial sales director at those rooftops, that person lives in the Contacts product.
Can I pull only Houston or only Dallas rooftops?
Yes. Filter by city or by ZIP inside the state, on its own or combined with a franchise, a website provider or a size range. A metro-scoped preview shows its exact rooftop count, so a rep territory can be priced before anyone commits budget to it.
How large an order can I place for Texas?
Up to 25,000 rooftops in one order, which comfortably covers the whole state and then some. Rooftops cost 1 credit each, ownership is tracked per rooftop on your account, and a store you already bought is skipped instead of charged again if it comes back in a later search.
