What does Texas require after you form an LLC?

Texas requires an annual report with no state fee and a registered agent at all times, plus sales tax registration if you sell taxable goods.

  • Annual report

    $0 to the state. Texas charges no fee, but the Public Information Report is still required every May 15 even when no franchise tax is owed. More on Texas annual reports.

  • Sales tax registration

    Free from the state, and only if you sell taxable goods. The permit is free, though the Comptroller may require a security bond. More on Texas reseller permits.

  • Registered agent

    Every Texas LLC has to name one. It can be you at no cost if you have a street address in the state. Ours is $99 a year and optional, with no first year that quietly becomes a renewal.

  • Trade name, if you use one

    $25 to the state, plus our $50. Texas assumed name certificates can run up to 10 years, and you choose the term.
