Texas annual report cost

Texas sets the fee, and it varies widely, from nothing in a few states to a modest or substantial amount in others, sometimes flat and sometimes based on revenue, shares, or entity type. Because the figure changes and differs by entity, we show the current Texas amount before filing and pass it through at cost. Our service pricing is on the pricing page.

Often yes: Texas frequently sets different fees, and sometimes different forms and schedules, for LLCs versus corporations versus nonprofits, and corporations sometimes owe more. Filing under the wrong classification causes errors. We confirm the correct Texas fee and form for your exact entity type so you pay the right amount on the right report, not a guess.

A tax penalty rather than a filing fee, because Texas has no Secretary of State annual report. The Comptroller charges a flat $50 for each late report even when no tax is due, plus 5 percent of the tax at 1 to 30 days late and 10 percent beyond that, plus interest from the 61st day. The Comptroller can waive it. The Comptroller forfeits the right to transact business 45 days after the delinquency notice, and the Secretary of State forfeits the charter if it is still uncured 120 days later. Reinstatement then costs $75 plus every delinquent report, tax, penalty and interest, and a Comptroller tax clearance letter, with no time limit. We track your Texas due date and file automatically, so the question does not arise.

Most registered entities: LLCs, corporations, and often nonprofits and foreign entities registered in Texas generally must file on Texas's schedule to stay active, though a few states exempt certain types. If you are registered in Texas, assume you file unless told otherwise. We confirm your Texas obligation, and keep a reliable agent in place to receive the notices.

It depends on Texas: many states require it every year, some every two years, and the due date may track your formation anniversary or a fixed calendar date. The cadence is not intuitive. We track your specific Texas schedule on a compliance calendar so you never miss the cycle or misjudge a biennial year.

Yes, you can always file directly with Texas; it does not require a service. People use us to avoid missing the non-obvious deadline, to keep every entity's filings in one place, and to have the report reviewed before submission. It is a safety net against the most common cause of losing good standing, not a requirement, and the choice is yours.

Yes. We track your Texas due date, prepare the correct report for your entity type, pass the state fee through at cost, and file on time, with the confirmation returned to your records. It turns an easy-to-miss Texas deadline into something handled automatically on your compliance calendar.
