Direct an Internet browser to the White Pages. Start with the easiest method of finding someone first. Enter the name of the person you are trying to find. Make sure you select the "Texas" link, then the "Dallas" link. Read through the results and locate your person. If you know the person has a spouse and you do not find the particular person, look for the spouse on the results as many times a last name search brings up more results to sift through.
Contact the Dallas Police if the person you seek is a runaway or missing person. The Dallas Police Missing Persons Department may be reached at 214-671-4243. Bring pictures, former addresses, known patterns of behavior, Internet addresses to the person's Facebook or social media pages to the police when asking for assistance.
Take advantage of the social media websites. Enter names, email addresses or identifying nicknames into the search field on popular social media sites. Many times the sites include information such as location and updated email contacts.
Use the "dinosaur" method and locate a copy of the Dallas-Fort Worth telephone book. Prior to the Internet, people looked up others in the phone book. Look for the your person in alphabetical order, with the last name.
Hire a private investigator if all else fails. Use a reputable investigator who is credentialed and licensed through the state of Texas. Find Dallas based investigators who specialize in missing persons through the Texas Gumshoe website.
