Texas Registered Agent: Requirements & Options

Every Texas LLC must name a registered agent with a physical Texas street address on its Certificate of Formation (Form 205).

Who can serve

• An individual Texas resident (including you)
• A business entity authorized to do business in Texas

The agent must consent to serve, and the address is public. A P.O. box alone isn't allowed.

Be your own or hire one?

Hiring a service keeps your home address off public records and makes sure lawsuits and state notices aren't missed.

Service package prices change often. Check the provider's site for current pricing; you always pay the state filing fee on top.
