Business Formation in Texas Made Simple and Secure
Launch Your Business With Confidence — Not Guesswork
Starting a business is exciting, but the legal steps can feel overwhelming if you’re not sure where to begin. Choosing the wrong entity, missing required documents, or filing incorrectly can cause delays or create problems later. We help Texas entrepreneurs and professionals set up their businesses properly from day one, so you can focus on building — not fixing — your company.

Choosing the Right Business Structure
The type of entity you choose affects liability protection, taxes, and how your business operates. We help you understand your options clearly before anything is filed.
Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
LLCs are a popular choice for small businesses because they offer flexibility, liability protection, and simpler administration than corporations.
Corporations
Some businesses benefit from forming a corporation, especially if they plan to bring in investors or grow rapidly.
Partnerships and Sole Proprietorships
In certain situations, these structures make sense — but only when the risks and limitations are fully understood.
We explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision based on your goals, not just convenience.
What We Handle for You
Business formation involves more than submitting a single form. We manage the process end to end to avoid errors and delays.
Name Review and Entity Setup
We confirm availability and prepare the Certificate of Formation for filing with the Texas Secretary of State.
State Filings and Compliance
Texas currently requires a $300 filing fee for LLC formation. We ensure all filings are accurate and submitted correctly the first time.
EIN and Initial Setup
We guide you through obtaining an EIN and preparing your business for banking and operations.
Operating Agreements and Governance Documents
These documents define ownership, responsibilities, and decision-making — protecting you from disputes and misunderstandings later.
Speed, Accuracy, and Peace of Mind
Many business filings are rejected due to small mistakes that delay your launch. Our streamlined process often allows businesses to be formed within a few days once information is received, with expedited filing options available. More importantly, everything is done correctly — so you don’t have to redo it later.

Why Work With an Attorney Instead of an Online Service?
Online filing services focus on speed, not strategy. They don’t evaluate your goals, explain long-term implications, or prepare custom agreements.
By working with an attorney:
- Your entity is structured with liability and tax considerations in mind
- Operating agreements are customized, not generic
- Future disputes and compliance issues are reduced
- Your business is positioned for growth, succession, or sale
This upfront investment often saves significant time, money, and stress down the road.
Planning Beyond Day One
The decisions you make at formation affect your business’s future. Ownership structure, voting rights, and agreements all play a role in succession planning, partner exits, or eventual sale. We help ensure your business is built on a foundation that supports long-term success.
