To text or send ringless voicemail to sales leads in Nebraska, you need prior express written consent (PEWC) under the federal TCPA (47 CFR 64.1200(f)(9)) — a purchased list is not consent. Send only during 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM at the recipient's local time, honor STOP opt-outs immediately, and include your business name. Nebraska's key statute is Neb. Rev. Stat. 86-236.

Yes. Automated marketing texts (and ringless voicemail) require prior express written consent (PEWC) under the federal TCPA, 47 CFR 64.1200(f)(9), in every state including Nebraska. A purchased lead list is not consent.
In Nebraska, send marketing messages only 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM at the recipient's local time. Matches federal default
Nebraska has no special storm-solicitation ban beyond the standard federal rules. Roofing/restoration insurance-claim restrictions exist only in FL, TX, and LA.
Nebraska relies primarily on federal enforcement, but the federal TCPA private right of action ($500–$1,500 per violation) still applies.
An EBR (18 months from a purchase, 3 months from an inquiry) only exempts you from the Do-Not-Call registry — it does not replace PEWC for automated marketing. You still need written consent to send automated texts or voicemail.
