Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Texas Registered Agent?
expand_more

A registered agent is essentially a go-between who receives legal and state documents on behalf of your business and then makes sure those documents get to you. This includes service of process (lawsuits), legal summons, and Secretary of State notices.

What’s better being my agent or using a service?
expand_more

If you don’t care about having your address on the public record, being served lawsuits at home or in front of customers, or possibly missing document deliveries while you’re on vacation or traveling for work, serving as your own registered agent can save you a few bucks.

But if you want to keep your address private and never risk missing an important legal summons, we highly recommend hiring a registered agent service. We provide local, expert registered agent service in Texas for just $25 a year. That’s only about $2 a month.

Why do I need a registered agent?
expand_more

All business entities that need to file with the TX Secretary of State (such as LLCs, corporations, and non-profits) are required by law to have a registered agent for as long as the business is operating. This includes foreign (out-of-state) business entities that register to do business in Texas, as well as domestic business entities.

On a practical level, having a registered agent makes sure that the state is always able to deliver critical legal and state documents to your company and that you receive those documents in a timely manner.

Will my registered agent file my formation documents?
expand_more

A registered agent’s main job is to receive legal and official mail for your business and make sure you get it quickly. They do not automatically file your LLC paperwork. At Texas Virtual Office, we can do both. We act as your registered agent and file your formation documents, so you only work with one trusted service from start to finish.
