It was game changing for me.
What we built
Custom website rebuild — local SEO, services, project gallery, and a free-estimate form that actually converts.
Based in Austin, TX · Veteran-Owned
Local SMB acceleration. Not another marketing agency.
We build and run the stack that actually moves a service shop — pipeline, desk, social, search, and ops — because we hated how agencies treated us when we were on the tools. See the results. Then book coffee in Austin.
The proof is already in the work: 20+ local shops accelerated, 3.2x referral lift, hours returned every week, and jobs booked that would have been missed. See the client stories and before-and-after work below.

The Anti-agency
Operators building for operators.
We hated how marketing agencies treated local shops: long retainers, vague reports, and people who had never run a crew telling operators how to work. TexasMade Automations is the Anti-agency — local operators who build practical systems for operators. We fix the bottlenecks costing you time and jobs, show the work, and stay month-to-month.
- Leads slip through the cracks after the first quote.
- Missed calls = missed jobs. Nights and weekends are the worst.
- Referrals are your best channel — and nobody's asking for them.
- Traditional agencies keep the retainer. Operators need systems that keep working.
How it works
Live in a week. Not a quarter.

Grow on autopilot
Weekly reports. Continuous tuning. We only win when you do.
Features
Every layer of your shop's operating system, installed and watched for you.
24/7 Desk
The after-hours layer. A hired desk for the job you hate staffing — nights, quote chase, reviews, or intake. It answers, books, and routes when your office is closed. Customers text and call it. You text it like a person. We build it, watch it, and send you the Friday rundown.
Voice Booking System
The phones layer of your OS. Answers every call, books jobs, and syncs to your calendar — 24/7.
Referral Engine
The pipeline layer. Automatic ask, track, reward. Turns happy customers into a steady flow of new jobs.
CRM Follow-Ups
The follow-up layer. Multi-touch SMS + email sequences that recover cold quotes before they go cold for good.
Review Flywheel
The reputation layer. Review requests timed to peak-happy moments.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The safety net. Never lose a lead to voicemail again. Instant, in your voice.
Ops Dashboards
The command layer. Weekly reports on jobs won, sources, and dollars in the door.
Live demo
The Referral Engine, in action.
A Google Sheet that tracks every referral, a system that writes the follow-up, and a reward that ships automatically. That's the whole magic trick.

About · Based in Austin, TX
Built by Austin operators, for Austin operators.
Bernie and Luis met in the field — one professionally welding, the other running a local moving company right here in Central Texas. They started TexasMade Automations in Austin because they were tired of watching local operators get sold overpriced, under-delivering "smart" by out-of-state agencies that never answered a work call. We serve Austin service businesses first — and yes, you can meet us face-to-face.
Bernie
Cofounder Marine Corps VeteranWelder · Deck & Fence Builder
Marine Corps Iraq combat veteran with multiple decades in the trades. After service in his early 20s he built a career as a professional welder and hardscaper — constructing decks, fences, awnings, and custom metalwork from the ground up. He earned his welding certifications while running real crews, managing job sites, and learning firsthand how hard it is to build the business and work in it at the same time.
Luis
Cofounder Moving Company Owner7 Years Industry Experience
Runs a local moving company that completes 900+ jobs a year with an average ticket around $1,000 and a huge repeat-customer base. After watching peers get price-gouged by out-of-state agencies that under-delivered, he built the automations that worked in his own company first — then decided to offer them to other local business owners.

Starter $158/mo, Growth $298/mo, Scale $598/mo. Month-to-month, cancel anytime, first 14 days are 50% off. No setup fees, no contracts, no surprise line items.
Most shops are running in 5–7 days. Day 1 we map your calls and jobs. Days 2–5 we build. Day 6 we test with real leads. Day 7 you're live.
Yes. Encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on SOC 2 infrastructure, and role-based access on our side. We never sell your data and never use it to train outside models. It's your data — export it anytime, no questions asked.
It answers every call and text 24/7, qualifies the lead, and drops the job on your calendar. It does not invent a price you didn’t give us. If they want a human, it rings your phone.
It’s a desk we hire and run for one job you don’t want to staff — after-hours calls, quiet quotes, reviews, or intake. It gets its own number and email. Your customers reach it. You can text it like a person. We watch it and send you a Friday rundown. You don’t log into a new dashboard.
Voice booking answers the phone and puts jobs on the calendar. The Desk is the seat behind that — follow-up, after-hours coverage, review asks, whatever you named as the job you keep not hiring for. Scale includes both. Growth can add Desk Lite.
Yes. One job for the first 30 days. Nights, quote chase, or reviews. If you ask it to do everything you hate on day one, it will do none of it well. We write the rules with you, including a kill switch that forwards the line back to your cell.
After a completed job, we auto-text the customer for a referral, log it in a live tracker, and run the follow-ups and reward reminders for you. You keep working — the pipeline fills itself.
No. We plug into what you already use — your number, calendar, CRM, email, Google Sheets, and review platforms. You don't learn a new dashboard. Your crew doesn't change a thing.
Cancel any month, no penalty, and take your data with you. If something's broken we fix it fast — you can text a real human (usually Luis or Bernie) and get an answer the same day.
