Changing Texas Registered Agent FAQs
Can I be my own registered agent in Texas?
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.
How do I remove myself as TX registered agent?
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.
How much does a TX registered agent cost?
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.
