Texas LLC Foreign Registration in Nevada

To do business in Nevada, an LLC formed in Texas registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada needs nothing from Texas: no Certificate of Fact - Status. We file it with the Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division from your Texas records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Texas to Nevada, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Nevada registered agent, next to your Texas name and formation date. No Texas paperwork holds up the Nevada filing. After approval, your Texas LLC is registered with Nevada.

Your Texas name and Nevada's rules

Nevada can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Agents: Nevada and Texas

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

Staying in good standing in Texas and Nevada

Texas wants the Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report every year; Nevada wants a periodic report every year ($350). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Texas to Nevada

A corporation formed in Texas files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same). After that come Texas's Franchise Tax Report + Public Information Report (no fee) and Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent. See the corporation filing.

The other way: Nevada into Texas

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

Questions Texas owners ask about Nevada

Does my Texas company need to register in Nevada?

Yes, once a Texas business operates there; Nevada registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout, with nothing to pay Texas.

Do I need Texas's certificate of good standing?

No, Nevada takes the registration without it.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge; nothing comes from Texas first. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Texas and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Texas's report (fee set by the state) and Nevada's report ($350).

What if I don't register with Nevada?

Nevada can charge a Texas company a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada LLC instead?

Yes, but Texas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's periodic report ($350), and the original keeps Texas's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

Texas companies leave by filing a Certificate of Dissolution/Cancellation; until then, Nevada's report stays due alongside Texas's filings.
