Common LLC Formation Questions
How much does it cost to form an LLC in Dallas, Texas?
Texas charges $300 to file your Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State. Our professional LLC formation service starts at $800, which includes all state fees, document preparation, Operating Agreement, EIN application, and first-year registered agent service. This is significantly less than most Dallas business attorneys charge, and you get ongoing CPA support.
How long does LLC formation take in Texas?
Standard processing with Texas Secretary of State takes 5-7 business days once we submit your documents. We can expedite filing for an additional $25 state fee, which reduces processing to 2-3 business days. From start to finish, including document preparation and review, most clients have their LLC operational within 2-3 weeks.
Do I need a registered agent in Dallas for my LLC?
Yes, every Texas LLC must have a registered agent with a Texas address for receiving legal and official documents. We provide registered agent service from our Dallas office for the first year, and you can continue this service annually or designate yourself or another person with a Texas address.
What’s the difference between an LLC and S-Corp for Dallas businesses?
LLCs offer more flexibility in ownership, profit distribution, and management structure, while S-Corps can provide self-employment tax savings for profitable businesses. In Texas, which has no state income tax, LLCs are often the better choice for small businesses and real estate investors. We’ll analyze your specific situation and recommend the best entity type during your consultation.
Do Dallas LLCs need to file annual reports in Texas?
Texas LLCs don’t file annual reports, but you must file a Public Information Report (PIR) every four years and pay franchise tax annually if your revenue exceeds $1.18 million. We set up compliance calendars for all our LLC clients and can handle these filings as part of our ongoing accounting services.
Can I form an LLC in Texas if I live outside Dallas or Texas?
Absolutely. You can form a Texas LLC regardless of where you live, and many out-of-state clients choose Texas for its business-friendly environment and lack of state income tax. You’ll need a Texas registered agent, which we provide, and must comply with both Texas requirements and your home state’s foreign LLC registration rules.
What should I include in my LLC Operating Agreement?
While Texas doesn’t require Operating Agreements, we strongly recommend them for defining ownership percentages, management responsibilities, profit distribution, and procedures for adding or removing members. We draft custom Operating Agreements that address your specific business needs, ownership structure, and long-term goals, not generic templates.
Pricing & Getting Started
Our LLC formation service starts at $800 for single-member LLCs, which includes all Texas state fees, professional document preparation, custom Operating Agreement, EIN application, and first-year registered agent service.

We provide detailed pricing during your consultation based on your specific needs, and payment plans are available. Ready to protect your Dallas business and move forward with confidence?
