Technically, the FTC only can govern calls if you call out of state. This is why most states have simply adopted the Federal rules, but state laws should play out for in state calls, not federal laws. So yes, someone in Texas, calling someone in Texas, is subject to Texas laws, not the FTC rules, maybe......
Problem is, its hard to know for sure.
