How to File an Annual Report for Your Texas LLC

Texas LLCs must file a Public Information Report (PIR) annually with the Texas Comptroller by May 15. There is no filing fee. File online at https://www.sos.state.tx.us/corp/sosda/index.shtml. Your first report is due May 15 of the year following formation. Include your principal office address, principal place of business, names and addresses of all managers or members, SOS file number, and registered agent information. Missing the deadline triggers a $50 penalty plus additional penalties and interest.

Filing Requirements

Your annual report is due May 15 each year to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts under Tex. Bus. Org. Code § 11.251. There is no filing fee. Your first report is due May 15 of the year immediately following your LLC's formation.
