State Compliance Pack

Texas

Region:

Texas replaces the traditional annual report with a yearly Franchise Tax filing, required by May 15 every year even if your LLC owes nothing.

Compliance Snapshot

Filing Agency Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (annual filing) / Texas Secretary of State (formation & registered agent) ↗
Annual / Periodic Report Annual (Due: May 15 each year: Franchise Tax Report (or Public Information Report / Ownership Information Report if no tax is due))
Report Fee $0 if revenue is below the no-tax-due threshold (VERIFY ANNUALLY, threshold adjusts periodically)
Franchise / Privilege Tax Applies

Texas imposes a franchise tax (sometimes called the "margin tax") on LLCs with annualized total revenue above the no-tax-due threshold. Even LLCs below the threshold must still file the required report.

Registered Agent Required by state law
Sales / Use Tax Registration Register ↗
State Income Tax Texas has no state personal income tax. The franchise tax serves as the primary entity-level tax and is based on margin/revenue, not net income.

Additional Notes

Required even at $0 owed: Texas has no traditional “annual report,” but every LLC (even those owing $0 in franchise tax) must file a Franchise Tax Report (or, below the no-tax-due threshold, a Public Information Report / Ownership Information Report) with the Comptroller by May 15 each year. Skipping this filing can lead to forfeiture of the LLC’s right to do business in Texas.
