About Texas LLC Formation for Non-Residents
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
A Texas LLC is formed by filing a Certificate of Formation (Form 205) with the Secretary of State, with a $300 filing fee and a Texas registered agent. Texas has no personal income tax but imposes a franchise (margin) tax on LLCs; for 2026 and 2027 reports, entities with annualised revenue at or below $2.65 million owe no tax but must still file a Public Information or Ownership Information Report by 15 May.
Texas suits founders with operations, warehouses or customers in Texas. For a business with no Texas connection, Wyoming or Delaware is usually simpler.
We form the LLC, obtain the EIN, and file the annual franchise tax information reports along with IRS filings.
