Texas Registered Agent
What is a Texas Registered Agent?
A Texas registered agent is a legal resident of Texas that maintains a physical address in Texas. A Texas registered agent must be open during normal business hours to accept service or process and any legal notifications on behalf of a company. Texas requires a Corporation or an LLC to have a registered agent.
Why is a Texas Registered Agent Required?
Since a business is not a real person, someone has to be designated to receive notices on behalf of the business. The registered agent address is the address that will be used by the state of Texas for any official legal and tax correspondence. The registered agent address must be a physical, in-state street address; P.O. Boxes are not acceptable.
Failing to register and designate a registered agent in Texas may foreclose or hinder the company's ability to legally enter into contracts and gain access to Texas' courts. Moreover, it may subject the company to monetary, civil, and possibly criminal sanctions. Also, failure to maintain a registered agent in Texas may cause your company to fall out of "good standing" within the state of Texas. This will subject your license to do business within Texas to forfeiture, with monetary penalties assessed to reinstate your company to a "good standing" again.
When do you need a Texas Registered Agent?
You'll need a Texas registered agent if you are incorporating in Texas, forming a Texas LLC, registered an out of state entity (for a certificate of authority or certificate of registration), or are getting ready to incorporate in Texas.
A Texas registered agent is required for each entity, that is, each corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, professional corporation, professional association, etc.
