Some
facts you should know about a registered agent in Texas:
"registered
agent," "statutory agent" and "resident agent"
are three names for the same thing: an agent authorized by a company
to receive documents and notices. (Since the three terms all refer
to a Resident
of the state acting as an AGENT,
we have coined the term "ragent" to include them
all).
Your Texas registered
agent must be either (1) a domestic company formed under Texas corporate
law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Texas
or (3) an adult individual who resides in Texas. Because neither an
LLC(limited liability company) formed underTexas law nor a foreign
LLC is specifically mentioned as eligible to be a registered agent,
an inquiry to the Texas Secretary of State office is recommended if
your agent is a limited liability company.
It is important
to note that a Texas registered agent must have a Texas street
address rather than a post office box and that the registered
agent must sign a consent to be registered agent and file it
with the Texas Secretary of State.
APPOINTING
A NEW TEXAS REGISTERED AGENT
We welcome newly
formed companies, as well as companies previously formed who presently
have an overpriced resident agent, or a registered agent whose quality
and dependability may be open to question.
If you are forming
a new company yourself (or qualifying your company to do business
in a new state yourself) and are interested in our registered agent
services, just check the first box when you order
online. (If you want legal assistance in the formation or qualification
process, you may want to contact 4inc.com,
which is also affiliated with the Inc.Link®
network of corporate professionals.)
If you are an existing
company which desires to change its registered agent in Texas, you
may do so at any time by completing a change of Texasi registered
agent form and submitting it to the Texas Secretary of State.
When you order
online, we take care of filling out this form and sending it to
you for signature. Upon its return (signed) to us we will take care
of filing this form, and we will also pay the fee which must be paid
to the Texas Secretary of State to make the change.
If you would prefer
to sign the form first and send it to us so that we may complete it
and file it with the Texas Secretary of State, along with the filing
fee, the change of Texas registered agent form can be found at
http://www.sos.state.tx.us/corp/forms/401_boc.pdf.
Just sign it and get it to us and we will take care of the rest.
If your present
agent is prepaid for a period of time, you can instruct us not to
make the change until that period of time has expired.
