How Texas companies register with New York

Order the Texas certificate
The Certificate of Fact - Status ($15) is ordered from Texas separately; it is not part of our New York order. Ordered from Texas on filing day, it easily meets New York's limit of one year.
We prepare and file Form DOS-1361-f-a
It lists us as your New York registered agent, next to your Texas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Texas issues the certificate instantly, so the New York filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Texas LLC is registered with New York.

Staying in good standing in Texas and New York

Texas wants the Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report every year; New York wants the Biennial Statement every two years ($9). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Texas to New York

A corporation formed in Texas files Form DOS-1335-f-a with New York ($225 in state fees). After that come Texas's Franchise Tax Report + Public Information Report (no fee) and New York's Biennial Statement ($9). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New York into Texas

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

Questions Texas owners ask about New York

Does my Texas company need to register in New York?

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

$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: New York wants Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15), no more than one year old at filing.

How long does the New York registration take?

New York's standard processing takes 7 business days; Texas's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing. Paid expedite: 24-hour $25, same-day $75.

What are the yearly costs for Texas and New York?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Texas's report (fee set by the state) and New York's report ($9, every two years).

What if I don't register with New York?

A Texas company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New York require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New York LLC instead?

Yes, but Texas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New York's Biennial Statement ($9), and the original keeps Texas's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from New York later?

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