940 is one of the 86 area codes in the United States. It covers the northwestern part of Texas. This area code was created on October 1, 1997, and it originally served the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. However, due to increasing population and the need for more phone numbers, 940 was extended to cover other parts of the state. Now, 940 serves the following counties: Archer, Baylor, Clay, Collin, Cooke, Denton, Ellis, Grayson, Hopkins, Jack, Johnson, Kaufman, Montague, Palo Pinto, Parker, Rockwall, Somervell, Tarrant, Wichita, and Wilbarger.

If you are looking for a phone number in one of these counties, and you don't know the area code, you can try 940. Keep in mind, though, that this area code is also used for parts of Oklahoma, so not all numbers in 940 will be in Texas.
