Notice: Change to Delivery Methods for Business Entity Filing Submissions
Section 4.001(a)(2), Texas Business Organizations Code, was amended by Senate Bill 2411 to remove fax as a business entity filing submission method.
Effective September 15, 2025, a business entity filing may only be delivered to the Office of the Texas Secretary of State (SOS) in the following ways:
Fax delivery will no longer be an accepted method on or after September 15, 2025.
The Section also provides records information by telephone and email and provides plain and certified copies upon request. Although the Section continues to accept documents by fax and mail, an increasing number of documents are received through electronic submission on SOSDirect.
For questions regarding specific information not found on our website or contact information for specific areas of the Section, please Contact Us.
The Texas Business and Public Filings Division cannot provide you with legal advice or legal referrals. If you are seeking answers to legal questions you will need to find a private attorney. For information on choosing and working with a lawyer, you may wish to visit the State Bar of Texas.
