The Lone Star Advantage
Your state of formation matters. Texas brings together a business-friendly environment, a diverse economy and room to grow. Build your Texas business with a local team that handles the details.
Texas has no personal state income tax. For 2026 reports, the franchise-tax no-tax-due threshold is $2.65 million in annualized total revenue. Information reports and other taxes may still apply. We help you understand the next steps for your business.
You do not need to live in Texas to start a Texas LLC. Your company does need a Texas registered agent and registered office. Stetson handles that local foundation for you.
The Texas Business Organizations Code gives LLC owners flexibility in how they structure and manage their company. We help translate your plans into thoughtfully prepared company documents.
A properly formed and maintained LLC can help separate your personal assets from business liabilities. Sound documents, separate finances and responsible business practices help support that protection.
With major business centers in Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, Texas connects entrepreneurs with customers, talent and suppliers across a broad and diverse economy.
For a business operating in Texas, forming here can avoid the extra step of forming elsewhere and also registering in Texas. Operations in other states or countries may require additional registrations and tax filings.
Tell us where you operate and what you are building. We help you work through the formation details and coordinate additional support when needed.

Texas registered-agent guidanceWe help you review the addresses required for your filing before it is submitted. Formation records are public, and registered-agent service does not automatically hide every address or provide a general business mailbox. Talk with our team about an appropriate setup for your company.
Required formation informationU.S.-created entities, including domestic Texas LLCs, are exempt from FinCEN BOI reporting under the current rule. Certain foreign-created entities may still have obligations. Our BOI service listing is for applicable cases and is not a required add-on for domestic LLC formation.
Current FinCEN BOI guidanceStart with Stetson. We help you identify applicable Texas reporting requirements and arrange the support you need. Being below the franchise-tax no-tax-due threshold does not automatically remove information-report obligations. We confirm the scope of reminders, information-report assistance and any tax-filing work separately.
Texas Comptroller franchise-tax guidanceThe IRS issues EINs free of charge. Our listed fee is for assistance, not an IRS fee. Form the entity first and confirm eligibility and application requirements. Do not send Social Security numbers or tax-identification documents through this intake.
Apply directly with the IRSThe online document workflow supports ordinary domestic Texas LLCs. Professional entities, series structures, custom provisions and other special cases need manual review. You can identify an uncertain answer in the form; staff must resolve it before filing.
