First Choice Power Cares!

Get the help you need paying your electricity bill from helpful organizations in your area

Everyone goes through economic ups and downs, but that doesn't mean you should go without power in your home. Here at First Choice Power, we want to ensure you get the assistance you need — especially when you need it most.

Thanks to a federal government initiative called the Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program (CEAP), you have access to agencies around Texas designed to deliver the relief you need to pay your energy bills.

If you ever need help paying your utility bills in the Lone Star State, there are a few ways to get the necessary funds to keep your lights on at home:

  • Use your mobile phone to dial 2-1-1 on your mobile phone, and you'll speak to an operator who can connect you with agencies in your community.
  • Call 1-877-399-8939 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. This toll-free number will directly connect you with the CEAP service provider in your county.

If you want to learn more about this program in general, just head over to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs website.

If you need even more information, simply reach out to one of the local community agencies that assist your county listed below!
