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 under Texas 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. Remember that registered agency is no place for an amateur.

It is important to note that a Texas registered agent must have a Texas street address rather than a post office box.

APPOINTING A NEW TEXAS REGISTERED AGENT

We welcome newly created companies, as well as companies previously formed who have an overpriced resident agent, or a registered agent whose trustworthiness, 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 and desire to change your registered agent in The Banner State, you may do so whenever you wish by completing a Texas change of registered agent form and submitting it to the Texas Secretary of State.

When you order online, we fill out this form and send it to you for signature. Upon its return to us (signed) we will take care of filing, and we pay the fee which must be made to the Texas Secretary of State to complete the change.

Another choice would allow you to sign the form first and then to send it to us so that we can complete and file the form with the Texas Secretary of State, along with the filing fee. You can find the Texas change of registered agent form at http://www.sos.state.tx.us/corp/forms/401_boc.pdf. Just sign it and send it to us and we will take care of the rest.

Remember finally, that 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.
