What the Texas data holds

The data behind this lookup is the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Active Franchise Taxpayers file (data.texas.gov), not the Secretary of State register. It holds franchise-tax taxpayers that carry a Secretary of State file number: Texas charters and foreign entities registered in Texas.

Forfeited and closed entities are included. A forfeited right to transact business is served as active with the local status delinquent, a forfeited charter as dissolved and a forfeited certificate of authority as revoked. The status can lag the Secretary of State.

The official search is run by the Texas Secretary of State and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Sources as at 6 Nov 2026.

The Texas number: TX- plus the register number

A Texas company number is TX- and the Secretary of State file number: TX-0801693751 is Texas Holdings Inc. The file number is the company number; taxpayers without one are never served, nor is the Comptroller's taxpayer number. Only the shape is verified, there is no check digit.

A Texas charter carries the jurisdiction TX; a foreign entity registered in Texas carries none. A name works as well: type it and pick the match.

What is not served

General partnerships, joint ventures and trusts are never served. There are no officers or registered agents; the address is the franchise-tax mailing address.
