Joseph Anthony

Owner & Lead Pilot — CTX Drone Services

Central Texas drone photography is more than a service at CTX Drone Services — it’s a mission. After 20+ years serving in the United States Army, Joseph Anthony brought the same discipline, precision, and attention to detail that defined his military career into delivering professional aerial imagery to real estate agents, property owners, and businesses across the region.

CTX Drone Services was founded in 2025 with a simple goal — give Central Texas clients access to high-quality aerial imagery without the big-city price tag. Joseph holds an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, meaning every flight is legal, planned, and executed to the highest professional standard.

Why Central Texas Drone Photography Makes the Difference

In today’s visual-first real estate market, buyers form opinions in seconds. Professional central Texas drone photography from CTX Drone Services gives your listings the aerial perspective that ground-level photos simply can’t — showcasing lot size, layout, neighborhood surroundings, and curb appeal in a single frame. Whether you’re selling a residential home in Temple, a commercial property in Killeen, or acreage near Waco, we deliver imagery that stops the scroll and sells the property.

Why FAA Part 107 Certification Matters

Commercial drone work — including real estate marketing — must be flown by a certificated remote pilot under the FAA’s Small UAS Rule. Hiring uncertified operators puts you, your brokerage, and your client at risk.

  • Legal commercial operations — flights conducted under FAA rules for business use, not hobby exceptions.
  • Airspace awareness — full understanding of controlled airspace, LAANC authorization, and no-fly zones across Central Texas.
  • Safety-first execution — preflight checks, obstacle planning, and professional judgment on every shoot.
  • Protect your brand — reduce liability for you, your brokerage, and the property owner from non-compliant flights.
