If you subscribe to a distribution list using a designated keyword, you can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text "STOP" to the short code. After you send the SMS message "STOP" to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, sign up as you did the first time or contact MemberServices@HoustonsFirst.org and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.
If you are experiencing issues with the SMS messaging program you can reply with the keyword "HELP" for more assistance, or you can get help directly at MemberServices@HoustonsFirst.org.
