Physical Address Requirement

No P.O. Boxes allowed

Texas requires your registered agent to have a physical street address (not a P.O. Box) within the state. This ensures that legal documents from the Texas Secretary of State and Texas courts can be physically delivered and received.

Business Hours Availability

9 AM - 5 PM, Mon-Fri

Your Texas registered agent must be available during normal business hours (9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday) to accept service of process and official correspondence from the Texas Secretary of State.

Ongoing Maintenance

Continuous requirement

Texas requires you to maintain a registered agent throughout your business's existence. If you change agents, you must file an update with the Texas Secretary of State (filing fee: $15) to stay in compliance.

Multi-State Considerations

One per state

If your Texas-based business operates in other states through foreign qualification, you'll need a registered agent in each state. CrowSmart provides registered agent services in all 50 states, simplifying multi-state compliance.
