Texas LLC Foreign Registration in Mississippi

Mississippi registers an LLC from Texas as a foreign LLC on Form F0200, with $250 in state fees. Mississippi also asks for Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15), no older than 180 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services from your Texas records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Texas to Mississippi, step by step

Order the Texas certificate
The Certificate of Fact - Status ($15) is ordered from Texas separately; it is not part of our Mississippi order. Ordered from Texas on filing day, it easily meets Mississippi's limit of 180 days.
We prepare and file Form F0200
It names us as your Mississippi registered agent, with your Texas name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Texas delays the Mississippi filing. Once Mississippi approves it, the Texas company can do business there.

Your Mississippi agent and the Texas one

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

Yearly filings: Mississippi and Texas

Texas wants the Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report every year; Mississippi wants the Annual Report every year ($250). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Texas to Mississippi

A corporation formed in Texas files Form F0002 with Mississippi ($500 in state fees). After that come Texas's Franchise Tax Report + Public Information Report (no fee) and Mississippi's Annual Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Mississippi into Texas

An LLC formed in Mississippi that registers with Texas files Form 304 with $767.13 in state fees and a $50 required expedite; no Mississippi certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Texas to Mississippi

Does my Texas company need to register in Mississippi?

Yes, once a Texas business operates there; Mississippi law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Mississippi registration cost?

$449 at checkout plus $15 to Texas for the Certificate of Fact - Status, $464 in all (checkout is $250 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Texas's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Mississippi wants Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15), no more than 180 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Texas and Mississippi?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Texas's report (fee set by the state) and Mississippi's report ($250).

What if I don't register with Mississippi?

A Texas company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Mississippi can add a penalty of $10 a day, up to $1,000 a year.

Does Mississippi require a registered agent?

Yes: the Texas registered agent stays, and ours covers Mississippi for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Mississippi LLC instead?

Yes, but Texas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Mississippi's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Texas's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Mississippi later?

Texas companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation of Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Mississippi's report stays due alongside Texas's filings.
