Regional Approach in Dallas does it without being asked.

Houston approach in Houston wont do it, even when asked.

We have

for it, whether on the ground before departure or in the air.


If somebody calls asking for center flight following, do you still assume

they

dont' want it?


Nope, then we'll give you a center code and hand you off to the center. But
you have to ask for it. Simply telling me your destination, which happens
to be a long way away, won't do it.
