“Before I signed up with Texan Registered Agent, I paid $154 a year for Registered Agent Service. I was looking for ways to reduce expenses, so my Small Business could profit, and Texan Registered Agent offered the solution. They rock for charging a way better price than the other place.”

How Do I Change My TX Registered Agent?
There are 3 main steps to changing your Texas registered agent:
1.
Fill Out A Change of Agent Form
To change your registered agent in Texas, you have to file a Change of Registered Agent/Office form with the Texas Secretary of State. This is the same form you’ll use whether changing registered agents for a Texas LLC or Texas corporation.
2.
Submit Your Form to the SOS
You can submit your Change of Agent form online, via fax, by mail or in person. You’ll have to include payment of $15, or $5 if filing for a nonprofit.
3.
Check Your Business Status with the Texas Comptroller
Once you’ve filed your Change of Agent form, check your business filing through the Texas Taxable Entity Search to make sure your registered agent information is accurate.

Changing Texas Registered Agent FAQs
Yes! As long as you live in Texas, you can be the registered agent for your business. Keep in mind that if you appoint yourself as registered agent, you need to put your own address on state paperwork, which will go on the public record. This must be a physical street address where you can be reached during business hours to accept legal notices in person.
If you don’t keep standard business hours or don’t feel comfortable making your address public, it’s worth considering hiring a professional registered agent instead. When you hire us, we let you use our business address on state forms—keeping yours private.
If you’re currently the registered agent for your company, you can remove yourself by appointing a new registered agent and filing a Change of Registered Agent/Office form with the TX Secretary of State. When you hire us as your registered agent, we can submit this paperwork for you.
The price of Texas registered agent service can vary widely, with some popular national companies charging upwards of $200/year. However, our registered agent service is only $35/year, and that price doesn’t change. We choose to keep our rates affordable so you have more money to invest in your business.
