Texas LLC formation
Form an LLC in Texas.
Texas has no state income tax, and its franchise tax only applies above a revenue threshold most new LLCs don't reach — making it a straightforward option if you're operating in or serving the Texas market.

Why founders choose Texas
What a Texas LLC gives you.
1
No state income tax
Texas has no personal or corporate state income tax, one of a small number of US states with that structure.
2
No franchise tax below the revenue threshold
Texas does have a franchise tax, but LLCs with annualized total revenue below the state's no-tax-due threshold owe $0 — most early-stage LLCs fall under this line.

Makes sense if you're actually operating there
If you or your business has a real presence in Texas — customers, an office, employees, or physical operations — forming your LLC there avoids the added step of registering as a foreign LLC in your home state.
Worth knowing before you choose
Texas's $300 filing fee is the highest upfront cost of these five states, and processing takes longer (3–7 days vs. 1–3 for Wyoming/Delaware/Florida/Nevada). If you have no physical connection to Texas, that cost and wait may not be justified over Wyoming.

FAQ
Questions about Texas LLCs.
Specific answers for forming and running an LLC in Texas.
View full pricing →Do I need to live in Texas to form an LLC there?
No. Texas has no residency requirement for LLC ownership. You need a Registered Agent with a Texas address, which RazorFile provides.
Will my Texas LLC owe franchise tax?
Only if your LLC's annualized total revenue exceeds the state's no-tax-due threshold, which most early-stage LLCs are under. You'll still need to file the required annual report even at $0 owed.
Should I form in Texas if I don't live or operate there?
If you have no physical presence, customers, or operations in Texas, Wyoming is typically the lower-cost, faster-processing option. Texas makes the most sense when you're actually operating in the state.
Can a non-US resident form a Texas LLC?
Yes — Texas has no citizenship or residency requirement for LLC formation, only a Registered Agent physically located in the state.
Do I need to understand US legal paperwork?
No. RazorFile keeps the process plain-language and organised so you know what is needed, what is paid, and what happens next at every stage of your order.
What is a Registered Agent and do I need one?
A Registered Agent is required for every US LLC, regardless of where you live. They receive official government and legal correspondence on your company's behalf at a physical address in your formation state. RazorFile provides this service.
