Every Texas LLC files a Public Information Report each year by May 15. There is no fee to file the report itself, and franchise tax applies only above the state’s no-tax-due revenue threshold, so most small companies owe nothing but still must file.

How it works

  1. Start an order and pick Texas. Form a new company or move an existing one to us.
  2. We put our agent on file with the Texas Secretary of State and set up your dashboard, usually the same day.
  3. Anything served on your company is scanned to you the same day, and we remind you before every deadline.

Frequently asked

Do I need a registered agent in Texas?

Yes. Texas requires every LLC and corporation to name a registered agent with a physical Texas address to receive service of process. Changes to your agent are filed directly with the Secretary of State, which we handle for you when you move your agent to us.

Can I be my own registered agent in Texas?

You can if you have a physical Texas address and are available during business hours, but your name and address become public and you must be there to accept legal papers in person. Most owners use a service to stay private and never miss a notice.

How much does a Texas registered agent cost?

With us it is $99 a year, the same flat price in every state. That includes the agent on file, same-day scans of anything served on you, mail scanning, and compliance reminders.

Does a Texas LLC pay an annual fee?

There is no fee to file the required annual Public Information Report. Franchise tax only applies once revenue passes the no-tax-due threshold, so many small Texas LLCs owe $0 but must still file by May 15.

Can you take over as agent from my current provider?

Yes. We file the change of agent with the Texas Secretary of State and move your company onto our dashboard, usually the same day. There is nothing you need to print or mail.

Is the $99 price really flat?

Yes. It is $99 a year in Texas and in every other state, and it renews at the same number. The only cost that can change is the state's own fee, if the state changes it.
