Does a Texas reseller permit protect your personal assets?
No. A permit registers you for sales tax; it does not put anything between your business and your personal assets. If that matters to you, forming an LLC in Texas costs $300 in state fees plus our $100.
What else does Texas require of 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.
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.
What else do people ask about Texas reseller permits?
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts charges nothing for the registration itself. Our fee to complete and file it is $50.
Usually not. A reseller permit registers you with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts to collect and remit sales tax and to buy inventory for resale without paying tax on it. A business license is a separate permission to operate, often issued by a city or county. A few states fold both into one application; most do not.
You register where you have nexus, which is a tax question about where your business has enough presence or sales to owe the state something. Physical presence in Texas creates it; so can crossing a sales threshold from out of state. That is a question for your accountant, not for us. Most sellers start with their home state and add others as they grow.
A business with an EIN that applies as an entity. We do not file the Texas application for a sole proprietor applying with a Social Security number, and we never ask for one.
There is no fee for the permit, but you may be required to post a security bond.
