Texas questions

Can my existing LLC operate in Texas?

Yes, once it is registered there. You file Form 304, Application for Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company with the Texas Secretary of State and pay $750; you do not form a new LLC.

What do I need from my home state?

Nothing special. Texas does not ask an LLC for a home-state certificate, though the LLC should be active at home.

What happens after I register in Texas?

Public Information Report (Texas Comptroller), no fee (due: may 15), and a registered agent must stay in place.
