How Texas companies register with Wyoming

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Wyoming registered agent, next to your Texas name and formation date. If Wyoming wants the Texas certificate, it is ordered first. Once Wyoming approves it, the Texas company can do business there.

Will your Texas name work for Wyoming?

We search Wyoming's records for Texas's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Wyoming agent and the Texas one

Texas and Wyoming both call it a registered agent. Wyoming papers come to us; Texas's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Wyoming and Texas

Each year your corporation files Texas's Franchise Tax Report + Public Information Report (no fee) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Texas plus Wyoming comes to $209 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Texas to Wyoming

An LLC formed in Texas files its own registration with Wyoming ($150 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Fact - Status ($15)). After that come Texas's Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Wyoming into Texas

A corporation formed in Wyoming that registers with Texas files Form 301 with $767.13 in state fees and a $50 required expedite. See that filing.

Common questions: Texas to Wyoming

Does my Texas company need to register in Wyoming?

Yes, once a Texas business operates there; Wyoming registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Wyoming issues one to Texas corporations once the filing is approved.

How much does it cost to register a Texas corporation in Wyoming?

$349 at checkout; Wyoming may also want Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status, at extra cost.

How long does the Wyoming registration take?

Wyoming's standard processing takes up to fifteen business days after the date of receipt, plus time for Texas's certificate if Wyoming asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Texas and Wyoming?

$209 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Texas and $60 to Wyoming for the yearly reports.

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

Yes: the Texas registered agent stays, and ours covers Wyoming for year one.

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

Yes, but Texas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Wyoming's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Texas's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

Texas companies leave by filing a Foreign Profit Corporation Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Wyoming's report stays due alongside Texas's filings.
